generator

Maybe this question is too general given all the years and different models but…. 1. Assume my shore power cord is connected……If my Sunseeker is plugged into shore power, and everything is fine, is there any damage done by starting the generator BEFORE unplugging? 2. Assume my shore power...

My display is showing error but my generator seems to be working OK. There is no code number just reads "error".

So have a 4KY-26100R Onan 4KW Gen Set in my Forrester Classic 2441DS. I've had the carb and fuel pump replaced by the dealer and that resolved the run for 15 min and die issue. However I still have an issue with it running under a load and it sputters and stops like its running out of gas. I've...

Hoping someone in the know can tell me if what I was told by a "salesman" is true. He told me that the 2023 Isata 3 they have in stock is one of the very last with a diesel generator in the whole country, and that Dynamax is eliminating it as an option moving forward. I can neither confirm nor...

Has anyone removed the NPS5500 and used it for your house? We don’t use our generator and would like to use the space for other things. But I would like to keep the generator and convert it to propane if possible and use it for our home generator. Let me know if anyone has done this. Thanks in...

If you start generator up because of no power. Then power is restored. Does it hurt the generator if it's plugged into 50 amp?

Shopping for Genny's for the Wildwood X-lite. (30 amp) Have had some of the guys I work with anywhere from 4500 watts to 7500. Any ideas on best size to run the camper "normally?" Will be in South Texas for the next 12 months, so obviously A/C will be a thing in 4-5 months.

Anyone ever install additional exhaust muffler to quiet down their generator? Specifically talking about a portable unit rack-mounted on the back of a 5'r. Thanks

Will I get a better battery charge rate from my generator with my 50A cord into the generator versus a 110V extension cord? I have a 12V fridge with two 6Volts golf cart batteries and 180w solar. It uses about 10% battery an hour without sun so pretty much run generator most of the day and...

I have a Puma 5th wheel I installed a 7000watt onan cummins generator. It was prepped for one but never had one installed before. I have 120 volts coming out of both legs from the generator going to the auto transfer switch and 120 volts coming out of the transfer switch going to the control...

I need some advice from the brain trust here. I have a 2016 coachman Orion. The generator is an Onan qg2800 gas unit. I have a lot of trouble starting it. Sometimes it will startup right away and runs great. Other times it will start, sound weak and die after a few seconds. It seams that I...

I'm working on converting to Lithium batteries, but in the process of inspecting my rig I've been intrigued by the fact that there appears to be all of the wiring in place to drop in a generator. Now, I've got two Honda generators that I use together (2200 and 2000) that I have added to my...

I am going to be borrowing a 2022 Forester MBS 2401B rv and was trying to wrap my head around a few things before i get it. I am sure the owner will have some answers, but the rv is fairly new to him and he may not know all of the questions i might i have. The rv has a 3,600 watt propane...

Good morning. I need some guidance if what I am doing is incorrect. I wanted to start a monthly schedule for exercising my generator with some load. I have an Onan 7KB and a Transfer switch from Southwire, which is a model 40450-RVC automatic transfer with shore power sensing. There are two...

My RV QG 5500 Onan generator will run for a couple minutes and then die the fuel pump is working,air cleaner is good, oil is full, gas tank is 3/4 full, pulled the bowl off and was clean as a whistle. What am I missing

Since my original post on oil consumption on my QG4000, I have run 20 hours of high load, in 1-2 hour intervals to do any "break in" to see if this would help reduce oil consumption. After doing this I changed the oil and set the level to the top of the hash mark (level is checked after...

Having some electrical issues with my Momentum G28 Travel Trailer. While on shore power, everything runs fine. While on Generator it seems my desktop trips the Nearest GFCI "behind the tv". I've unplugged everything and checked each outlet with a heater that uses about 10 or 11 amps. didn't have...

When I press the "prime" switch, the electric fuel pump runs and never stops. Are the fuel pumps supposed to stop when enough pressure builds up? Is this the reason that the generator won't start? TYA, Macaroon

Hi all , just got a 23 xlr28dk5 and have a hard time filling the gas tank , looked under the trailer and looks like the filler and the place the hose goes into the tank are the same height . Any one else have this problem ? Short of drilling a hole in the side of the trailer and moving it up...

We have a 42View. What size generator should we select?

Hey all, We just purchased a 2023 Georgetown GT7 36D7 Class A with a 7000 watt Onan generator. We live in Florida and are new RVers. This past weekend we were trying to run both AC units, fridge, water heater, water pump and normal "gameday" appliances like the TVs while in Gainesville...

I soon will be the owner of a 2013 Jayco Greyhawk 31 DS coach. If all goes well it should be in my yard either this week or next. I had the coach professionally inspected and only two issues were found 1. Drivers and Passenger seats are worn (the surface finish has been flaking off). 2. The...

I have an Onan QD 8000 diesel generator that has no power to the start switches. Batteries are good and I have power to the connection on back of the generator. Any ideas what to check next? I'm also having an issue removing the right side of the front panel if there is a trick to this, I would...

Hi folks We just purchased a 2023 Rockwood 2606WS and I upgraded the battery to a 200aH Li-Time lithium battery. In the manual it states that a special charger may be needed to charge the battery from a generator. The Rockwood has a WFCO converter which I believe is compatible with lithium...

Could someone help me out. I know my 5th wheel uses a 5.5kw LP generator by Onan. What I don’t know is the exact model number or amperage req (30amp/20amp or 30amp/30amp). My RV repair shop near me say they can’t help and I’ve tried Jayce w/no response. It came prepared for the generator.
