generator

I have plenty of experience with generators (as I actually manufacture some) and know of their inherent lousy dirty output , but having used my rv to power (partially) my home, the true dirty nature was more than obvious. LED lights with lower "intensity", strobe effects, ... and the ups...

Trying to get answers on generator, I get a different answer from everyone. I am full time in my 2000 adventurer 35u and I start my generator every month for 30 minutes, but I shut everything off and unhook from shore power every time. I run it. Is that the only way to do it or is there away I...

I can’t get the pipe tight enough to keep it from wiggling loose and when it gets loose the generator runs like crap. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it? 2021 FR3 30DS Thanks, Mike

Good afternoon, I went out yesterday and noticed the generator in our 2015 Georgetown 270 was swaying side to side. I have never noticed this before on any unit. Does anyone else's generator hang from coach floor and sway? J&T

Opened the generator compartment today to prepare for tune up and I noticed the whole generator sways back and forth. The brackets are just hanging down and not supported side to side. Is this normal? I would assume the swaying will eventually stress the metal and start cracking. TYIA for your...

Hello all I have just purchased a 2017 keystone 357 fwlft and the dealer told me I needed a 50 amp service generator but didn’t have a specific brand to tell me, thought this was the next best place. I would prefer to purchase from amazon, if anyone can provide some help I would really...

I'm having an issue with my generator not being recognized by the Inverter. here are the components: Cummins/Onan 2800watt HGJBB gasoline generator Go Power IC2000 Watt Inverter/battery charger/automatic transfer switch The inverter was installed in the spring of 2021 in conjunction with...

Hi all, just like the topic says, what do you consider a high amount of hours on the Onan 8K diesel generator? And then soon after require a rebuild or replacement. This is of course assuming proper maintenance is kept up to date. 500? 1000? 10,000? Thank you

Does anyone have suggestions for a make and model generator? I am looking for one that can run the air conditioning, lighting, entertainment, functions, and other small things. I could probably live without using the microwave and AC simultaneously. I’m just looking for a good generator that...

Pretty much the title. I've disabled what I think is S2 but the gennie only runs while I'm holding down the start button. Off the top of my head these things are happening and possibly related? 1. I have no load attached. Should run anyway, right? 2. The oil dipstick is close to full...

Have a 2020 Forrest River 2290S with a Onan 4000 generator. Generator starts fine put won't connect to ac or microwave. Before when I started the gen set it would run a minute or so and I would hear a beep when the ac and microwave would be available to start, now no beep or power available...

I’m about to purchase a 2010 fuzion 393. I’m going to be adding a compressor that requires more power than the one that comes with trailer. I’m wondering if I can replace the current gen which is gas with a much larger diesel gen and then use the onboard fuel tank for diesel.

We just spend 3 days boon-docking and found that the generator still takes a long time to top off the batteries. About 7 hours to go from 55%SOC to 99%SOC. Right way we found that the battery setup was incorrect, set to flooded versus custom, as mentioned in prior forums to be a Firefly...

Hello, Just sharing this simple fix in case anyone else has this trouble. I have a Westinghouse Igen 4200 and a Dometic 13.5 A/C with a Softstart. I did all of the mods to the trailer and bought the new generator a year ago. Everything worked great in my driveway. At the end of August, I...

Have a 2021 FR3 30DS. Ran AC at home for 45 min. but AC would not start up to add load. Got an E4 code which is either low refrigerant or compressor not running. It's a new coach and AC worked fine a month ago while plugged into park's 50A. First time to test under load with generator. What am...

I am looking for a portable generator that will run my 15000 A/C that is quiet so I can run it at parks when needed and not upset the other campers. My A/C does not have the easy start option. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have a 2017 forester model 2801qs gts Once a month I run the generator to make sure it is functioning like it should. I run it for about 20 min. Today when I ran the generator I decided to turn on the furnace and check for heat, fan runs but no heat. I shut off the furnace. When I shut off...

Hi everyone, we have an oil leak from our Generac onboard generator. The whole area behind the outside cover is clean but underneath is really oily. I can’t see where the drain plug is and took a video and still can’t locate it. I’m thinking that is where the leak is from. The generator is...

2022 and below Geo Pro doesn't have a bumper or receiver hitch. Looking for ideas for a cargo carrier for generator and fuel. The front protrudes over the tongue and appears to preclude any above LP tank platform.

Has anyone bought there Impression with a factory generator installed. I’m trying to figure out if I can install one in the front compartment.if so can you please post some pictures of it in your fifth wheel. Thanks

Have a 2014 XLR 27Hfs. It has the 4k Cummins Onan generator installed. Generator starts up and runs fine and sounds good, however the exhaust glows orange. This leads me to belive the carb is clogged/out of adjustment and running lean or the muffler is clogged. I bought it used and found a old...

Wasn't sure exactly where to put this question. We have a 2017 Georgetown that we use for tailgating a lot. We have an exhaust pipe extender for generator, but the exhaust is under slider, so if you put slider out it doesn't work. Seems like design flaw. I was thinking of extending a...

We've read several places that when the generator is not normally used it should be run, with a load on it, for anywhere from 10 mins to 2 hours per month. What is Forest Rivers recommendation? Personally, I feel that 2 hours is excessive and my wife thinks that 10 mins isn't enough.

hopefully a simple question: What battery does the generator starter run off? the Chassis battery or the Coach batteries? Thanks Dean
