generator

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...

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...

Hi all, I own a 2019 Thor Challenger 37YT. The 120 VAC outlets in my lavatory, plus the microwave oven, do not receive power from my inverter when only using battery power. Other AC items like the TVs and refrigerator work fine. I verified by measurement that the GFCI outlet in the lavatory...

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.
