We want to add an inverter generator to our 2019 Four Winds F24 for use in campgrounds. Looking at both the Honda EU3000iS and the Westinghouse igen4500. Any thoughts on these options, or a better one? We do want to be able to use the AC. I have had good experience with Honda products, however...
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. I tried every service center at our planned stops for the next 60 days and got the same response. So, as usual, we’re on our own...
My DW and I are on our way home from a great 2 1/2 week trip to the FL Keys. Yesterday, my 10kw generator stopped putting out power while we were traveling. It runs, but no power. When we stopped for the night, everything worked while plugged in to the 50 amp plug at the campground. Tonight...
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...
Hi all,
We recently downsized from a Momentum 350G to a Reflection 150. While the layout and overall size of the Reflection 150 Bunk House work better for our family (a 3 and 6 year old) boondocking in National Forest and BLM spots with a shorter length, I find it's been a lot tougher to...
While looking at the 30DS at the dealer's lot on a warm afternoon (high 80's), the salesman turned on the AC and the NPS-5500 generator started to shut down, surge, shutdown... He tried the other AC and the same issue.
He called a mechanic on his cell phone to come and have a look and I was...
Did a search but couldn’t find the answer. I have a toy hauler and It is time to replace my batteries. I would like to replace the two t105 Trojan batteries with a 300ah lithium battery. My question is,will the lithium battery start my 4k onan generator?
2022 Europa, starter clicking, acting like battery dead, but I have fully charged house and chassis batteries. Surely it’s running off of house battery?
Just bought a Champion 2500/1850 watt inverter generator. It has a grounding lug. Do I need a grounding rod for trailer operation? Also, how do you keep track of your hours for maintenance?
TIA
Hello....I have an Onan QG 3600 LP on a 2016 Forester 2401R that is having intermittent power issues. I'd like to check the connection from the generator to the RV itself, but cannot find the location. I'm not sure if its a plug or hardwired or what. I absolutely cannot find any information on...
Has anyone figured out a good rule of thumb or found a good guide on trying to estimate what the power consumption is of the NoBo electric items?

Hello all, I have a 2016 Thor Challenger. My generator seems to only cut on after I’ve turned the ignition on for awhile. Sometimes it’ll turn on, other times it won’t. It’s almost like it’s waiting for the ignition battery to charge the generator. Is that possible? Has anyone else had this...
I purchased the 2023 Thor Rize 18A back in march so everything is under warranty, but service turnover is horrible here in san diego.
My issue is that my 2x100ah agm house batteries are no longer being charged by my generator. The generator no longer automatically enables the 110v inverter so...
Hey Campers,
I will be doing some boondocks this summer. Our 100w solar will not keep up with our battery demands so I bought an 1800w inverter generator. I am looking for the fastest and most efficient way to recharge the battery.
Am I best to plug the trailer into the generator or I have...
Can anybody explain to me how this auto gen startthing works.
There is nothing in the owners manual and no help online.
I just need somebody to explain what it’s for, and how it works.
It’s a 2020 Precept 34G.
Took our rig - (2018 Isata 5 36DS) to get the tires aligned / rebalanced and left the refrigerator on (checked and nothing else on). When we got back, we hooked up to our 50A but forgot to throw the breaker to on so the coach sat there for a 24 hour period without power. Next day, realized we...
HELP!
Connected our Firman 11,400/9200w gas-powered generator to check out compatibility with our TT and can’t get it to start: gen battery is good, it has fuel, the starter seems good, but it simply won’t start.
We were advised NOT to use ethanol and as I’ve gone through the troubleshooting...

We have a coachman 208bhs with a 13.5k btu ac. I'd like to know if I can run the unit without the help of a softstart.or easystart system on a Champion generator. The unit is 2850w start and 1850running. Would this be sufficient?
I have the factory Go Power 100w solar install, but when I push the AC button on the panel to enable the inverter I still don't get AC... only if the generator is running. 12v switch is on, display lit on the GP-PWM-30-UL solar controller, batteries at 100% and the indicator lights up saying...
Getting ready for a trip, actually first trip in our 2023 Europa. While disconnected from shore, when I run generator everything is fine. At the point I shut it down there is a 1-2 second cycle in power.
The firefly screen turns off and back on, but the inverter/charger turns off and remains...

I have checked the large breaker in the...
