    Precision Plex Generator light flashing

    We recently replaced our precision plexus display in the wet bay. Generator light on the precision plex (buttons inside) has flashed since doing this. Light on generator itself is not flashing. Could be by memory… but I thought the light would be solid after starting. Flashing was for when...

    Gas Generator Etiquette

    We are newbies and are taking our first 3 day trip to see a city's zoo. We don't have a toad, so will go from the RV park to the zoo's parking lot in the RV. My question, is it OK to leave the gas powered generator running for the A/C while we are in the zoo, or is it bad form, lol? That is one...

    2021 Alta 2100MBH - Current draw when plugged in (generator) and nothing being used

    Hello All, I recently bought a generator (Predator 3500) so that I could go and camp without shore power. Anyhow, my question is this. When plugging in your travel trailer, what is a typical read out in terms of current draw when nothing is being used? For whatever reason, my travel trailer...

    Battery Disconnect 2 (BD2) change out

    This journey started with the engine not starting. I would crank over but that was it. Oh no, not the fuel pump again. I always keep a full tank of fuel with long term additive. This is going to take draining the tank to drop it down safety. Then the generator was not starting. The starter...

    2020 GT7 and Air saying plug in or turn on generator

    So, here we are on our longest trip since purchasing this behemoth last year and we have an air conditioner issue that likely has a simple solution from you more experienced RVers. We will have the AC off when it’s cooler outside at night and then in the day when we go to turn it on, it gives a...

    ISO input on solar generators

    I'm new to camping, just got a 2021 Geo Pro 19BH. Me and my family like dispersed and dry camping the most for peace and quiet, so I got a 200W solar suitcase. This weekend I was pleasantly surprised that the combo of the on roof solar panel and the suitcase kept our batteries charged up. But...

    Buying Generator And Power Cord

    I am considering purchase of a quiet inverter generator of 3700 watts (4500 peak). After looking on Amazon, I found several brands that appear nearly identical; Westinghouse, Champion, Wen, and Pulsar. Most of the reviews state the terrible customer service on all of them, so I guess that's...

    Hi all! Just purchased a 2020 Cherokee Grey Wolf 26DBH and we need a generator to power the AC and such, as we do a lot of dry camping. Thoughts?

    Isata 5 30FW generator is charging the batteries very slow

    In case this has been covered before please let me know where to find it, as a search did not do the trick. We just spend 7 nights at the North Rim GC campground with no electrical hookup. We have 800W of solar and 400AH of lithium batteries and a Victron battery monitor. The camp side was just...

    Generator Storage?

    Good Propane Generator

    Don't really want to carry gas cans but understand the need for an occasional generator boost when boondocking. What is a good propane generator?

    Honda generator conversion

    I have 2 portable Honda Generators (EU2200i & EU2200i companion) that I take with me on the very rare occasions when we are without shore power but need/want AC and microwave. I only bring about 2 extra gal of gas in addition to that in the generators. Found out that on 90 deg day AC on you get...

    Alternative to a gas/propane generator

    2401WS stabilizers and propane generator

    I inadvertently let the coach batteries drain to 7 volts. I started the engine and then the generator but the generator would stutter and stop after a 30 seconds or so. I hand-cranked the stabilizers up and let the engine run long enough to get a charge that would let me retract the slide...

    Start AC with 2200 w generator

    I've seen this conversation going back and forth for quite a while and finally run across a guy that said he started a 13500 AC with his 2200 watt gen. Well I have a Westinghouse wh 2200 ixlt and I did the math on the demand for the AC and the capabilities of my generator and eureka, it started...

    NPS generator problem

    Hi, new here. Anyone had their NPS generator quit running after 10 minutes? Repeatable on the road or parked. After a "cool down" will run again for 10 minutes. NPS says it is a FR problem. FR says they are working on it. All I know is it is frustrating! Thanks SGJ

    On-board generator low charge

    I have an ONAN 4000 installed and when I'm running the generator it produces 12.8/9 V. Is there a way to increase the voltage output?

    No A/C on Shore power but works fine on generator.

    We are in a 2006 Travel Supreme and we plugged into 50 amp power today and the A/C won't run. Also, only half of the outlets on the coach are getting power. The thermostat is blinking the E7 error, which I know means Loss of 120 VAC power to all power module boards on the system. But, how do I...

    Generator Stops Shortly after Starting & Running

    We have a 2018 Coachmen Freelander Motorhome 21RS with a 4,000 watt ONAN generator. The "genni' has been working OK up until the last couple outings. The last two separate times out this summer, it quit running shortly after turning on. We usually run it with the AC on, while driving to the...
