    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...

    Surge Protector and Invertor Generator

    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?

    Generator propane regulator

    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...

    Battery & Generator Upgrades

    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...

    Residential fridge on generator

    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...

    Generator vents

    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...

    Soft start for AC

    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?

    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?
