    Generator and Induction cooktop

    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...

    Champion 2500W dual fuel generator for A-frame

    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...

    2021 Isata 3 generator question

    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...

    New Inverter Generator

    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...

    NPS inverter/generator

    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...

    Precision Plex question/generator

    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...

    Generator help

    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...

    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...

    What Generator to buy

    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...
