generator

I own a 2019 Forest River Sunseeker model 3010DS with the built in Cummins 4000 watt gas generator. I thought I knew what the hour meter was telling me but then I noticed 1/10 th. The reading is 420, does that mean 420 hours or 42.0 hours x 10

Have a 2022 forest river Forrester classic 2441ds when I turn on electric switch and the propane switch on the control panel it’s bogging down the generator (Onan 4000) trying to figure out is the a no no but generator has about 22 hours on it and runs the ac and other things just fine. Note...

I have recently completed solar power/lithium upgrade and thought everything was working. I went to service the generator and it would not start on either the Lippert Onecontrol touch screen or the toggle at the generator. I last exercised it three months ago, without issue. I definitely...

I have an old Onan QG 4000 EVAP generator on my old FR Sunseeker MH that I can not get to run. It turns over but won't start. I bought an aftermarket carb and installed it, but that made no difference. There are so many different carbs out there, it's hard to decide which one is correct. I see...

Hello fellow Berkshire owners. We have a 2020 XLT 45A. It spent the last almost 2.5 weeks at the local Cummins shop getting the front and back end of the motor resealed after both oil seals around the crankshaft failed. When I dropped it off, I turned the house batteries off at the cut-off...

The NPS5500 generator in the 2023 30DS starts up quite reliably when cold: Prime for 8 seconds and it catches almost instantly. But when the generator is warm, like when shutting down to get gas, restarting it is almost impossible. I have tried starting without priming. Priming a little...

I've heard that generators, like the Onan 4000 in our SunSeeker 3100SS, put out "dirty" power. Last week I put an oscilloscope on our generator and got the waveform in the (hopefully) attached picture. Is this what we can expect from the unit? We also have a built-in Surge-Guard unit, if that...

Can't express my disappointment Forrest Rivers energy battery/solar set up on this Mk23 Grey wolf Travel Trailer. Having owned two previous toy haulers (2013 Attitude and a 2003 Ragen) we got very spoiled dry camping with the gas/electric Refrigerator not to mention the ease of starting up the...

Hi All, Lurker for a while now, usually find solutions in existing posts but having trouble finding this scenario. I have a 2017 Shockwave https://www.rvusa.com/rv-guide/2017-forest-river-shockwave-toy-hauler-floorplan-t24fq-mx-tr30060 System worked fine, I wanted to change oil on onboard...

I get a very strong gasoline smell when I shut down the generator, is this normal? I've checked for any sign of leaks but everything is clean and dry. This is a 2021 Sunseeker 2550DSLE with an Onan 4000 generator that pulls fuel from the vehicle tank. Generator runs/works great otherwise. Thanks...

I have a brand new Coachmen Leprechaun 319MB. I'm still familiarizing myself with all the systems while parked in my driveway. The coach has a Cummins ONAN Energy Command 30/30G (I still don't know which) Automatic Generator Starting System. Among it's really kewl features is one that is...

I am new to the RV world so any help would be appreciated. I purchased a 1991 executive prestige with a 7k watt propane generator. Everything was working fine on it until a couple of weeks ago. The generator started cutting off with the ac running, then didn't for a few days, then started that...

Squirrels built a nest and stored dozens of nuts around my Onan generator. I removed the nest/nuts but wasn’t able to reach some in the back. The generator runs a few minutes but shuts off from heat. Need advice on how to remove generator. Is it difficult? Thanks

Just picked up a Champion 2500 dual fuel. Can I run the generator and the fridge/stove off the same propane tank at the same time.

I haul a westinghouse igen4500df generator on the back of my travel trailer and would like to find an enclosure to protect it from the weather. Any suggestions?

My Owen onboard generator is hooked up to a 5 gallon boat tank. Can I get it hooked up to my gas tank? It’s a 2003 windsong class A Motorhome Thanks Mark

Need to replace a 3600 onan generator and can't find a used one. Any help out there?

According to manual for my Onan RVOG5500HGJAB I'm supposed to use ( given ambient temp) OnaMax 15W40. The rv dealer where I get my onan parts ( air ,oil filters etc) substituted the OnaMax with Shell Rotella T4 SAE 15W40 heavy duty diesel engine oil. I have concerns about using something...

Generator runs but no power to the coach

On my 2023 Forester 2441 DSF today I started my Onan QG4000 generator and it started like normal and was running about 10 minutes and began running ruff. On the interior start control panel the fault light was illuminated on and the indicator read H 4.5. This is a brand new unit and has been run...

Hello everyone! I am a proud owner of a basically brand new (21) 32BHQS. I have been in the forest river family for some time - upgrading from a 29-foot trailer with a 30 Amp service to the 32BHQS & 50Amp service. My current generator for the 30Amp trailer will not cut it - obviously - so...

Generator will provide power to rear A/C unit, but not to front A/C unit or to any electrical outlets in the coach. Shore power provides complete power to all A/C units and outlets. No breakers on the generator are tripped. I swapped position of generator breakers and still have the same...

So our 2023 33DS has had some serious issue since day one. From poor assembly, overlooked installation problems, and poor wiring to generators that don't work! So since brand new & in the last 10 months of ownership we have never been able to run both AC's with the onboard generator. The...

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forums. Glad to be here. I'm trying to get into boondocking with my 26dbud. I bought a Westinghouse igen 4500 dual fuel to run my trailer with 15k AC. Everything kicks on fine. AC runs for about 5 to 10 minutes and then all of a sudden my generator will chug and...

So we bought our 2022 I3 RW last September. The generator has always run lousy. The whole unit has been in and out the repair shop many times. I always mention how bad the generator runs. This last time they said they adjusted the idle set screw and that supposedly fixed it. Not. So about 3...
