generator

I have an 05 Forester with an onboard 33 amp generator. We do a lot of boondocking and it seems I’m always checking the batteries. Has anyone added an auto start to an older Oman generator? Is there a kit available? Thanks.

I have a Champion 2500 Dual fuel generator. Starts up easily on gas, but on Propane I've had issues. I think I have it working now due to some comments on a YouTube video but am interested in your thoughts on what I've "learned." One poster suggested not opening the valve on the tank all the...

(2013 Georgetown 329DS) Onan 5500 Generator Dometic 13500 A/C (original a/c) Just got back from a trip and we had issues with the generator not running great, and also had issues with the rear A/C. Not sure if the issues are related or not, but I think they are separate. First, I changed the...

This is the first camper I have owned with an onboard generator. With the potential of a hurricane impacting our area and maybe having to use the camper as a lifeboat, so to speak, I am wondering. If I run the generator to keep the refrigerator functioning, how long can I expect it to run on a...

We have had the pop up out twice to resorts. Both times on shore power. Now that fall is here I am looking at more primitive campsites and thinking forward to a generator. The 1910 has a 135000btu air conditioner. It looks like the harbor freight 3500 predator would be able to handle the ac but...

I have a WOLF Pup 16HE with the 12V fridge. I am considering buying a 2500 Watt Inverter to charge the battery and run the fridge during the day. I have a larger inverter generator that can run the AC, but would like something lighter for when the AC is not required. Will the smaller unit do...

We are headed to the Balloon Fiesta next week and I keep remembering that I need to do something about my generator’s exhaust even with my battery + solar upgrades. I previously bought (and still have) my Genturi. The problem now is, the exhaust of my generator comes out under a slide out and I...

2022 DX3 37BD Generator shuts off intermittently. Checked oil and it’s within range. Battery’s all show fine on firefly. No codes on firefly. There was a wire that was unplugged on the inverter. I plugged it back in. It was either the remote or batt temp plug. I don’t remember as they are...

Here's a tragic example of how a CO sensor failed to save lives: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/a-shut-off-switch-was-supposed-to-prevent-99-of-generator-related-deaths-it-failed-a-family-of-three/ar-AA124EgQ?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=2c34153e358941c1b72a799de34ec295 Just my observation...

I apologize if this has been covered already in another ClassBForum thread - if it was, I could not locate it. It needs to be cross-posted so that no Class B owner over here is forced to re-invent this same wheel. TL;DR - certain Onan propane generators have “biodegradable” internal hoses...

Hello. I have a 5500 Onan, It wont start. It has gas and a good battery. If I spray starting fluid in it it will run as long as I keep spraying into the carb. So I know it has gas and spark.... I took the carb off and took it apart and it is clean and the orifices are clear. Air cleaner is good...

Hi guys, 2020 Forest River Sunseeker 3010DS we bought used this year. We’ve traveled 9k miles since May so far so good. ONAN 4000 generator problems. 122 hours on it. Sometimes runs well overnight when boondocked. In really, really hot weather (110+ degrees) after running about an hour it...

I have been restoring an older Minnie Winnie and as the title suggests I need help with generator installation. The generator Bay is wired for generator output, wired for battery supply as well as has a gas line in it but did not come with generator from factory. I have acquired an Onan...

Just bought a used 1997 Winnebago Itasca Spirit. Can someone tell me what kind of oil I should use in the Generator and how much? It has an Onan 4000 Microlite. Thanks, Gail

Pair of Yamaha EF2400iS inverter generators with Parallel Hookup 900 for both - Ohio SOLD! I purchased this pair of Yamaha EF2400iS inverter generators for use with my travel trailer. As it turned out, I always stayed at full hookup campsites and never used them on the road. These generators...

Help! I can't remember how to start our generator. We have a class A Georgetown 359. The generator has not been started in a year. I flipped the battery on, primed the generator, then pushed to start... and it did not start. Did I forget something? Or do I need to call a service guy? Thanks!

Hello I started my generator and then the air conditioner. The generator was struggling so I turned it off. Just started it about three weeks ago all was fine. It is under a cover but it is very hot here today. Any ideas? Thank you in advance. Of course getting ready for a 10 day trip.

Couple issues - 1. can't start generator from inside the coach - either the dash - or the stove switch. BUT - I CAN stop the generator.... from either... 2. The generator is wired to the Aux battery - if the Aux battery switch is off - I can't start the generator at the generator. This...

Hi, I’m running my 5500 Watt Onan gennie with two ACs on while driving due to very hot weather. They both ran for several hours and all of a sudden they shut down and the control panel beeped with the gennie still running. It eventually reset itself. This happened several times. We had a full...

Looks like it is time to figure out why the generator won't start. Guess I will have to find the manual and then pull it out of the location to troubleshoot it. It turns over and the prime light comes on but will not start. Sunseeker 3010ds. Really lucky on this unit as it a 2018 built on a 17...

Hello Jayco Owner family, We have a 2022 Jayco Greyhawk 30Z. It's a beautiful class C, but we've had a lot of issues with electrical thus far. I will start by providing the details. One night, the carbon monoxide alarm went off. Long story short, the batteries were putting off a rotten egg...

Has anyone had any issues with the generator via the transfer switch not providing power to the ACs or microwave, but the generator is providing power to receptacles? My Carbon 338 did not come with a generator, so I connected a 30-amp cord with 30 amp plug to the electrical box housing the...

Hi! How can I read how many hours have been used on generator in jayco alante 29s 2021? Thank you!!

I have a 2022 Forester with a generator that IS NOT A ONAN. Generator at high load vibrates so hard ( when AC is running) the access door with the latches dogged down vibrated lose and came off the generator. I hope this isn't a standard for the non ONAN manufacturer. at partial or less than...
