generator

I am sure this has been asked and answered, but searching doesn't seem to return useful results. I have a our first trip planned tomorrow and it's supposed to be 94 degrees. Can I run the generator and the coach air conditioning while driving? If so, how much extra gas will this burn? 2011...

I have a 2021 Raptor 356 that we purchased new in 2022. The Onan 5500 gas generator has been an issue almost from day one. A new carburetor was installed, and the generator worked fine for a few months when test running it each month for 30 minutes. It now runs for about 10 minutes then shuts...

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

Greetings from the Mid-West! So I have the 2201MB 2022 model with a single 190 watt panel and a basic controller. My real question is about my 30 amp shore power, will this be compatible with a 300Ah LiFePO4 battery? I am planning a 12-13 week Alaska trip next summer 2024, and want to be able...

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...

I have a 2022 raptor 351 with onan 5500 generator. Has anyone considered mounting some type of exhaust fan in the generator box to help remove and circulate air around the generator while it is running. One hour of run time and the generator front cover and top become extremely hot to the touch!

Generator runs but no power to the coach

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...
