    Generator fueling screw-up

    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...

    Hi! Info on generator/inverter

    Hi Everyone. We are the new owners of an 22' Impact Fuzion 343. It's being prepped this week. We'll likely pick it up this weekend. However, it doesn't come with a generator, it does have the solar i400 package, and it has two A/C heads so we know we will need more power. I am reading on the...

    Generator sizing

    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?

    110v only with generator, not 12v/inverter?

    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...

    Hiccup in power when shutting off generator

    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...

    Solar and generator

    Probably asked and answered before but anyway... I just installed solar to my rig which also has a built in generator. Can I run generator (for AC) while sun is out and batteries are being charged by solar controller? Controller is wired direct to battery bank. Forgive my ignorance, and thanks...

    Onan 4000 Generator makes noise and adds hours when not running

    I just bought a new 2023 Sunseeker 2440DS. Put her in storage for a preplanned vacation. I shut off the master power switch in the house. When I got back from the vacation I drove to the storage area to pick up the RV to continue getting her ready for use. There was a ticking sound coming...

    Emergency Generators

    I am ordering a new 2023 Riverstone Legacy 39RBFL and I have my own Cummins 5500 LP generator. They say it comes generator prepped. Does this mean it comes with the frame that the generator mounts to or do I have to take frame out of my Heartland Bighorn the generator came out of ??

    Generator bonding

    a video and an article on the importance of floating neutral generators being properly bonded for rv use…if you use an ems it will usually prevent the generator from supplying power if it’s not bonded. The danger is when you buy a floating neutral gen and do not use an ems you would not know...

    Need Guidance on Generator Install

    Been searching but can't find my answer, appreciate any guidance you can provide. Our new Solitude 310GK came without a generator, and I need one. I think the 'standard' generator that GD factory installs is something like the Onan 5500, but they're essentially impossible to source right now...

No shore power at the moment. Lights, A\C / heating system, and refrigerator are all working fine. No power on...

    Generator Oil Change - ISATA5

    Noticed this issue on an older post re: Generator Oil Change - Europa. Our access door used to open on our ISATA 5 28SS. But, sure enough there has been some shifting and not so much access anymore. I was more concerned with the root cause behind a shifting 420 lbs generator. IMHO, not much...

It’s a 3000 watt generator, the air compressor is a 10 gallon, 120 volt, 13 amp, runs 4.3 scfm @ 90 PSI. The air hammer needs...
