    2024 Adventurer 36Z Generator Shut Down Issues

    So, this 36Z is new and we’ve owned it for about 3 weeks and it only has the delivery miles on it. We were loading it up today and had the generator running for about an hour to two hours and it died. The camper has about 3/4 tank of fuel so there is enough fuel. I don’t know why it died so I’m...

    Generator Swap

    Good Day all, So my generator in my 2020 415 has been acting up since I picked up the unit. I have to have 13v available for it to start for example. Getting past that, all of a sudden it will only run 5 minutes and quit. Then if I try to restart it, it sounds more like the starter is...

    Why do I have ringing at my electrical panel when I run an alternative generator?

    I have a 2024 raptor carbon Toy Hauler fifth wheel. Everything works fine when I run my on board Generator (5500 Onan). When I plug my trailer in to my 3000 W champion generator my electrical panel starts making a high-pitched ringing noise. If I shut the breaker off to the converter, it goes...

    Move to Lithium with a Generator

    Did some reading but didn't find what I was looking for. Has anyone made the transition from lead acid batteries to lithium with a generator. My understanding is that the Lithium doesn't have the CCA's to turn over a generator. So I'm thinking of maintaining a single lead acid and 2 100 ah...

    Looking for Generator Manuals

    Just had brand new generator installed. The Operator Manual gives a list of other documentation that I should have access to, and in fact, clearly states that the owner should review before operating the generator. Sure, no one really does that -- but I want to have it all on hand for future...

    Generator fuel gauge is reading empty when it is full of gas. Where is the fuel gauge located on a 2022 Fuzion 379? Which fuse is to the fuel gauge for the generator? Will the generator run if the gauge is reading empty?

    Generator exhaust beneath a slide out!

    This is very dangerous and a Forrest River needs to address it. We have a 2023 Georgetown GT5. The dinette slide out is right above of the generator. The exhaust points 90 degrees outward toward the edge of the coach but when the slide is out, it puts exhaust right up into the coach...
