generator

I'm doing a little boondocking this weekend and a cold front has moved in. We'd like to sleep with the heater running. We've got generators going but we think even if we fill them up, they might run out of gas before morning. Is this safe? Without power will the heater just shut-off or will...

I bought a Genmax i3001 watts that has a one gallon built-in fuel tank. I know there's AUXILIARY fuel system available but can't find one specific to my unit. Some have bought the fuel caps that fit different brands only to find the threads are different size. The Genmax inverter 3001with 2800...

Does anyone know or has anyone done this with their generator? I have a dual fuel Champion 2500 watt. Came with the built in regulator to hook to 20 lb propane tank, with the hose then connecting into the generator. I am wondering that the propane connections on the rv would work to run the...

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 wanted to get opinions on the new generators they're equipping the 29M and 31C with. I am considering the new 29M with the 2 a/cs but I see they've downgraded from the previous Onan 5500 to the 4000. I am wondering how that will impact the functionality of running 2 air conditioners. Did the...

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 have a Generac 2200 watt generator, that i pluged in to my surveyor last summer just to see what would happen. The generator really worked hard and after 30 -40 seconds tripped out and once just quite .I understand that it could not run the whole T.T. , but i had everything off radio ,tv ...

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.

Hello, My outlets not working unless generator on in my Dyanmax REV 2018 RV 2015 chasis. The GFI was yellow light on one outlet and I reset it so I got it to work again if the generator is on but now if I turn off generator. No outlet are working except for the on that the TV is plugged...

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...

We have a short in our Vegas. It's cutting power to the generator and the front led screen, including the radio. I can't find anything else that isn't working. Is there a fuse I should be looking for? I can't find anything on the fuses or how to reset the system. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

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...

Redhawk 28XK with a Cummins Onan QG4000 generator. Recently disconnected battery to clean and top off distilled water. Reconnected to exercise the generator but now I don’t have power to start. Supposed to be an in-line fuse somewhere on the wiring harness but can’t find that. Any help?

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...

Hello - New to RV so wanted to hear expert opinion on: would you advice me getting a portable generator too. I am going to get 20K Sequence

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...
