generator

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...

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 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...

Just some general information about trying to run my 2019 Dometic 1500 BTU AC and what happened and worked for me. What started this was my AC would run fine on 30 amp service but would trip immediately when trying to run on a 20 amp breaker which I know is too small for the AC but all previous...

This is my second trip in my 2023 Isata 5. First trip was great and on 50 amp shore power. We are boondocking this trip and this thing has lost its mind. I am running the generator and it will run for 30 minutes or so and then either die or just kill power and then reset. About half the time it...

I have always used the remote start on the one source for my 4000 Conan generator and it has always worked well and it still does. But I went to change oil in it for the first time and tried to start it manually it will start right up but then shuts off. What am I missing is there something that...

My travel trailer has 2 AC units and they work fine at the beginning when I have it connected to the 50amp plug of the generator. However, after 15 min or so, the AC units shut off even though the generator is on. The rest of the appliances continue working. I have even tried using only one AC...

So I know nothing about RVs, but in my divorce settlement, I got stuck with this RV. I am trying to purchase the best generator for it. I know that it is a 50 amp RV but I don’t plan to run everything all at once. I’m looking for a decent generator but cheap. One that’s not crazy loud but will...

I have a 2003 Sunseeker Class c. Whenever the AC compressors kicks on after running for a while, it will kill the coach gen. Gen is a 4000. It has even done it to an external 7500 watt gen. When hooked to shore power, it won’t trip but you can tell it’s working hard. AC is brand new with a brand...

We just bought a Energizer Ultimate solar generator. Can we hook up our generator to charge the 2015 Salem Forest River RV batteries?

Rockwood M2441WS Ultra Lite-2019 Any suggestions on how to attach a Generac 5500 generator to the back bumper, using the receiver hitch? It weighs about 180#

I have a 2023 Sunseeker Classic 3010 on a E-450 chassis I have a question regarding battery charging -- both chassis and house batteries and the generator. I know the chassis battery is charged by the engine alternator. 1. Does the alternator charge the house battery while driving/ engine...

All, I have a 2023 Sunseeker 3010. I have 2 AC’s both GE. The bedroom one died and needed to be replaced. The living room one died as well while on the road. It will be addressed in 2 weeks. Both AC’s run on shore power. When turning off shore power and running generator the living room appears...

I have a 22 2500 HD gas, my little Wen generator holds about a gallon of gas. I asked at the GM forum, no help. Seems like that 32 gallon tank should be able to share just a little bit.
