    Installed generator

    Can a generator be installed in a Cedar Creek 36RE that can be operated where it sits? Where would it go and how is the exhaust routed? Is there a particular model?

    Coach batteries not charging with generator

    Hello, My coach batteries are not charging when I run my generator, but they charge when the engine runs. I checked breakers by the battery, is there one by the generator? I have a Sunseeker LE 2850 Class C. Any ideas?

    Shore or Generator Dominant?

    We had a strange occurrence this past week. We have a 2022 Dynaquest TS. Plugged into shore power, turned on both A/C units and went to the pool to cool off in this Texas triple-digit heat. Came back a few hours later to find the coach at 97 degrees inside, no A/C's running. So, I turned...

    A/C trips generator breaker

    Recently when using the generator in my 2014 Georgetown XL, the front air (15k) trips one of the generator breakers. This is an issue as we like to run the air while driving in the deep south. Never had been an issue until recently. Not sure how to troubleshoot.

    ‘22 Europa 31SS Onan Generator

    Since leaving AZ in early May our generator has worked intermittently. We get the 3 36 error. We tried to have someone look at it while in Elkhart but came up empty.

    When I'm on shore power, or running on the inverter everything works fine in the RV. As soon as I turn on the generator my GFI pops. It happens everytime and usually it resets okay after a couple trys. Its pretty annoying. I make sure to not have anything plugged in or turned on when we fire...
