generator

We are seriously discussing a purchase of a generator for emergency use if we have power outages again this winter and know next to nothing about what we should be looking at. Never used one and have not had a need for one except for last winter in south Texas. So to start off we have a fifth...

Just got a 2017 Primetime Avenger 2DBS and this is the first travel trailer I have ever owned. Does anyone know the draw of this unit when operating the AC vs the heater, or how to figure it out? Trying to go full time. Thank you so much for any help.

I have had a Forester 2401T on order with deposit since early July and today I got a call from dealer saying diesel generator no longer available and we need to switch to LP. LP is a no go for us as we will be going to college track meets for the next 6 years with our dog and are there from...

We bought a used class C, walk thru was quick and brief and 3 weeks before we picked up RV..... Seems there is no manual for the actual RV part, just the Sprinter and some of the inside features. Anyone know how to start generator? Oh and the dealership sold us the wrong power connection :-(...

Morning All- It’s been a few years since I have been on a forum, so forgive me if I do something taboo. We recently picked up a 2022 365pack16 with an NPS5500 Eco generator. I’ve gotta say, I am incredibly pleased that someone other than Onan is being offered. Competition is almost always a...

Just finishing up generator install on our 2018 325Pack13. We were lucky enough to find a month old, 50 hour Cummins Onan 5500 within 140 miles at a decent price. Next I want to clean up the battery compartment wiring. I guess saving wire was the goal there. Wires are run across the...

Last week on a cross country trip we stopped along the way at a roadside rest for lunch. Tried to start the generator from the dash but no response. Thought that was odd so I went outside and tried it at the unit itself no response. Upon arriving at our campsite for the night I crawled...

What Generator and wattage would be recommended for a 2020 26rr Toyhauler. I'd like to power as much as possible.

i have a 5500 watt generator that I want to use for emergency power to my Cardinal 5th Wheel. Can I plug the 5th wheel directly into this receptacle with adapter. the rv IS 50 AMP

I am looking at 1800 running-watt generators. the Honda 2000/1800W is almost twice the price of the Champion 2500/1850W. I know Honda is the gold standard, but I'm having trouble justifying 2X price. There are many positive posts here about the Champions. any negative experiences with the...

Generator runs great while parked, can go a couple days with zero issues, doesn't die. Here on the last two trips it dies while on the road. I can't be sure yet how long in to the trip it dies, just know that when I stop it is not running. Any ideas? Anyone seen this issue?

I own a 2019 Georgetown GT5. The gen set is an Onan 5500. I have not used since April and operated it briefly while camping this past weekend. It started right up, sounded normal but as the minutes past and the coffee maker went on the generator began to oscillate. The rpm raised and lowered...

I have an older Storm Cat (harbor freight) 700 watt generator that I inherited from my father. I want to experiment with it to recharge my battery. the gen has a grounding lug which is meant to be attached to a driven rod. I have read about the need with some generators for a ground/neutral...

I have a new 2022 GD Refection 260RD and purchased a Onan Cummings 4500i gernerator. Fifth wheel is 50 and generator outlest is 30 amp. I used correct adaptor but when generator is on, A/C will turn on for a brief time then kicks off. I do not have anything else on except some indorr lights...

Ok so now that I've got my A-Frame pretty much squared away and my first trip under my belt I've been thinking and tinkering. So I have this big inverter made by Ego (ya know the company that makes battery-powered lawnmowers and all that) that currently uses 4x 7.5 AH 56v batteries. The thing...

As I continue to play around with my Victron smart shunt I decided I wanted to try testing the DC output of my Ecoflow R600 Pro lithium battery pack Right now my Geo Pro Trailer is in my driveway, and is nearly 100% covered by trees and shade, so my 380w of solar only generates a maximum of...

Anyone know why I am not getting any power to my onan generator, to allow it to crank or turn over. Its a a onan 4000. If I jump power from the relay above the control board it does crank, but other than that no button, switch, in the rig will remotely crank it.

What size, or brand are folks using for a generator to run 50 amp campers?

So after using our 2021 DX3 34KD for the last couple of months I wanted to ask a question/get opinions. One thing I've noticed is that the induction cooktop is not powered by the inverter when not on shore power or generator power. Not a big deal but I was wondering why it is set up that way...

After doing quite a bit of reading on forums and looking at specs for just about every portable generator 5kW and smaller, I pulled the trigger and ordered the Champion 2500W dual fuel generator. I figured it would be right on the edge for starting the 10kBTU CoolCat floor mounted a/c that...

The diesel generator on my recently purchased I-3 shuts the batteries off when I try to start it. I have to plug into AC power to get it started. I push the gen on button and in 15 or 20 seconds when I get the voltage and gen off readout I push the start button and the starter turns briefly and...

I bit the bullet and bought a new Champion 5500/4000 Dual Fuel Inverter Generator from Bass Pro Shops. I had gift cards I had won from Sporting Clays Tournaments and used them to buy it. The wife and I are out in the camper in the yard with the generator powering the camper. Trying to run the...

Maybe this will help someone! I have a 2021 GT5 31L5C with the NPS inveter/generator. First issue, when it’s hot, really hot, it dies. It appears as though it’s a vapor lock. I have been to Elkhart IN. twice for warranty work at the factory. The warranty manager has been fantastic to work with...

First time posting so not sure if this is the correct place! We just purchased a 2021 Georgetown 31L5. The Precision Plex touch screen for the generator does not start or stop it. The fob works fine but the touch screen doesn't do anything with it. All other things on the touch screen work. Any...

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I bought a 1200 Generator invertor for my 27RR toy hauler just for the toaster microwave and coffee maker. I went camping for the weekend and when I tried to run the microwave it ran for about 2 seconds then shut off and blew the circut? on the generator. I...
