    Inverter Generator?

    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...

    ‘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. 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...

    Kind of electrical - Venturi

    I just installed one of those venturi exhaust kits to send generator fumes up in to the air, it was really simple, and is very effective. The kit I used was from Amazon and was a great price. We would like to use the generator sometimes without sending fumes to our neighbor campers so this will...

    Gfi and generator issue

    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...

    Generator carrier with bike rack used in 2" Receiver hitch

    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...

    Reliability of NPS-5500 generator

    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...

    Noob generator/AC questions (micro mini flx)

    Hey everyone, we will be starting our RV journey this summer in the south, so needless to say I’ll be needing a generator to help keep the RV reasonably cool. I understand the Truma is only rated to reduce temps by about 10F, and that it should take about 1500watts to run. My question: Which...

    Generator issues

    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...

    Battery Issues which caused total chaos on slides, generator, etc.

    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...
