Heard a couple os stories about slide out generators becoming a loose cannon and sliding out when the coach hit the brakes, including one story about it coming totally off and sliding down ate road at a red light. Not sure how true the stories are BUT the more I thought about it, and then looked...
I have a Onan 4000 on my Shockwave and doesn't seem to be charging the batteries as it should. My output voltage is only 12.8v. I have solar which produces 13.5 - 14.1 depending on the sunshine, but when I'm under trees I have to rely on my generator. Is there antway to increase the output of my...
2004 Lexington 270 GTS. I'm not getting any charge to the house batteries when it's plugged in to shore or when the generator runs. Is there a trouble shooting guide to help me figure out what is wrong. It does charge from the engine alternator when I drive it. I found the small 5 amp fuse...
I've read that it is not a good idea to use a surge protector when plugged into an inverter generator. I have a Forest River Surveyor, 30A system, using a Progressive Industries EMS-PT30X surge protector. I plan to occasionally use a Champion 4500 watt inverter generator. Any ideas or advice?
I purchased a dual fuel Champion inverter generator. I like to use propane instead of gas. I would like to utilize an auto changeover dual tank regulator so I never run out of propane during operation, which would destroy the magnetism of the coil and trash the unit. Champion never responded to...
Our 20' 233S came with 2 interstate 24M-DP SLA batteries. Combined stated aH is ~130. Under normal use, we hit 50% and have to charge after about 24 hours, which is faster than I like. So, I was already planning to replace them, but then our generator died this weekend and the batteries ended...
G’day! I have a Honda 2000 gennie for dry camping...small fuel tank need to be attended more than I care to. Has a one modified a poly or steel portable gas can to be used for extended run? It seems like a simple solution but I’m wondering about how the gennie would draw the fuel; I assume the...
Hello everyone!
I'm looking into purchasing a Forester MBS 2401B and noticed it comes with an LP generator but there is also a diesel option. Does anyone have any thoughts about the pros/cons of each?
I’ve been wondering about this for an upcoming trip we'll be on generator. Run the fridge on inverter with generator or no inverter and straight generator? My thought process is that generator would work less on inverter until battery needed charged. What am I missing?
Just bought a 2017 FR 2801SQ, 22000 miles. Spent first night in a parking lot. Ran the generator in the morning. Took three tries to start, and the generator icon had a hazy, smoky visage but it ran. We turned on the furnace. Furnace came on but so did the AC. Later that day went to a...
Well, finally finished my generator vent installation. I should not have anymore generator running issues. It would die out after hitting a bump or anything that would “shock” the generator real good. The engine was vapor locking. The lower vents feed fresh air to the air intake under the...
As I look to replace my small 2k generator with something in the 3500-4000 watt (inverter generators only) range I come across the db levels. I am looking for something fairly quite, below the 60 db parks require. I am beginning to wonder if a can compare apples to apples as generators sound...
I'm set up out in the middle of a field for an event. Since I was bored this morning I decided to download a decibel app for my Samsung Note 9.
Only thing running is some lights and a TV without the sound on. This has a 12v fridge so thats running off the battery.
Inside the 5th wheel on the...
I'm thinking about getting a Honda generator for a trip this summer through the midwest. We will be dry camping for most of the trip. I have the standard AC unit on a 2016 E21. Will the Honda 2200 watt gen run the AC without a soft start installed?
Looking at this generator, from harbor freight. Anyone using this model? Good bad ??
It's less than a champion dual fuel 3500 which I am also looking at (which I realize this one is not dual fuel. Which would you prefer.
By the way, Honda is great, but out of my $$ range.
Let me know...
Hi - We have a 21C on order. We are planning on going with a RecPro AC3400 unit, and powering it with a Honda EU3000is generator. Where are folks carrying their generators while in transit? We have a F350 with a canopy, so no problem there, other than getting it in and out of the bed while in...
Looking to get a generator want something quiet that will power everything I could need.
People tell me to get a Honda just pricey but good warranty but it's only 3000 watts ....and people telling me I need 3500 running watts ...so not sure what I'll need.
What other brands are best as I'm...
Hi guys,
I got a 2021 Geo Pro 20BHS that came with the 100W GP flexible panel, 1000W inverter, and LP/AC fridge. I use it off grid most of the time.
I replaced the battery with a 100ah LiFePo4 and it's worked great so far for our family's usage. The original 100W panel tops up the battery...
I'm planning on firing up the generator on my 2012 Georgetown after being stored over the winter . Just in case I need to either replace or clean up the spark plug does anyone out there know what the socket size is ? The spark plug is their part no 167-1638 and the part no for the generator...
