generator

When searching for info on the new Honda 3200 fuel injected generator (not yet available in the U.S.) something popped up on the MXR3200 inverter generator and just wondered if anyone has one that could give some insight as to how it performs. Have been looking for a generator that will run the...

Hey I am new to the forum and a new rv owner. Purchased a 2004 Coachmen Concord in October 2021. We decide to remodel the inside before taking a trip. We had started the Onan generator 30 to 40 times while we were working on the inside. We took our frst trip New Years weekend. Started the...

Based on recommendations by a MB Sprinter Service expert, I change oil every 10k because I am frequently forced to fill up with B20 diesel. While the B20 diesel use can be addressed with more frequent oil changes (it causes oil contamination more rapidly than B5), I wondered what Cummins Onan...

I have a 2018 Surveyor that is driving me batty. I power up my Honda2200 generator and when I turn on the air conditioner the generator powers down and a cautionary light goes on. New to all of this so any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

I can’t reply to the old post by Dave6716 I think. Sorry Dave. 303 days ago. Was this issue ever resolved? I ran the generator while on a short excursion yesterday. Topped off the fuel and ran the coach around a 40 mile loop to burn off any moisture in the engine. The Cummins 8.9 is smooth as...

Having a debate about plugging in power cord 30/50 amp to the generator. Should you start the generator then plug in OR be plugged in then start the generator. All input welcome.

Hi folks was wondering what size gen/inverter needed to run normal items and ac or furnace. I have read some good reviews on the predator. Would I get away with the 500 or would I need the 900 watt unit thanks.

Hey folks .. I had a small solar generator and liked having it for phones and small lights. I liked it, but it fried out. I want to get a more powerful one - that can run the 12v fridge in a pinch (for a day or so) and/or lights, phone charging, coffeemaker (the small one could not run the...

We recently purchased a 2022 Sunseeker 2400B on a MBS chassis and have been looking for an hour meter on the Onan QG 3600 LP generator. We don’t have an hour meter on the generator and the ViraTouch Mira doesn’t give any run time information. I have attached a picture of the control panel from...

Sitting here looking out the window in near blizzard conditions. Beyond the driveway is our 40E. I was thinking, if the power went out could I plug the 10kw generator into the house to supply power? Anybody else thought of this? Or done it? 100 gallons of diesel (I know the generator cuts out...

in northern wisconsin there are a lot of smaller campsites in the chequamegon national forest. most are non-electric sites. can any of the experienced campers inform me of the rules regarding generator usage in national forest? i searched their website and couldn't find a lot of information...

I am looking for ideas on mounting a Westinghouse Igen 4500 generator to my Microlite 25FKS. I tried a rear frame mounted hitch and cargo tray but the weight caused some serious sway action. I am thinking of mounting it to the tongue but that would requires so relocation of propane bottles...

My 2017 forester 3011ds everything was working good and today I came out to run the generator and nothing ? The generator starts and runs good but no power from it, I don’t have a transfer switch, all breakers are on and all fuses are good unless there is one by the generator that I can’t see...

The chrome exhaust pipe extension (tailpipe) has a set screw to hold it tight against the real exhaust pipe, it's now not able to be tightened. Mine is not straight, it has a slight curve to it on the end, so the exhaust can sort of be directed. Anyone have a good source for a replacement...

I took the recent advice of a forum member and bought the Champion 2500w dual fuel inverter generator. Just completed the 5 hour break-in. I plan to only used propane in it. Is it me, or is it harder to start generators when running on propane? I follow the manufacturers recommendation to...

After 11 years, my Yahama EF2000IS generator is starting to have more problems than than I care to fix again and again or pay someone to do it.. mostly fuel system leaks, and plugged carb jets. Time to replace but I will only be needing a new generator for 2 or 3 more years before I sell the...

For those who do not have an onboard generator and use an external one where do you place it when you run it? Do you take it out of the truck to run it so it is further away from the rv, or do you keep it in the bed of the truck while running it?

I have owned a 2006 Sunseeker Motorhome for the past year. It is equipped with an Onan generator. When parked, we will hear a clicking sound like when you are priming the carb to start the generator. It doesn’t happen all the time, but one time it went long enough to run the battery down...

I was able to start a 13500 BTU AC unit and run cold while using a 2500 Watt starting and 1650 running duel fuel generator when on Propane at 2500 foot elevation. no soft start - slowly bringing up the ac with nothing else running on the trailer. Rockwood geo pro 19BH. AC runs on 1000 watts...

We bought a 2019 Escape 21 just one year ago. This summer as RV newbies we will be camping in sites without hookups for a week or so and need some advice on electricity use. I noticed that the electrical outlets in our Escape don't work when we aren't hooked up. The fridge switches to propane...

3 weeks ago I was boondocking for about 5 days and used the generator every day. Due to the heat in the late afternoon, I would turn the 8k Onan on then turn on both AC units, one at a time. Both AC units have the "Easy Start" system added. As both AC units approached their target temperature...

Hello, I have a dead generator battery, so the electronic start will not work. ...And for some reason, I cannot get the manual pully to start it either. I tried to trickle charge it but that didn't seem to work. ...And I suppose there's no more to hooking up than to place red or red, and black...
