generator

Hello wondering if anyone can shed light on my problems 2 weeks back on a site in the UK basically the campsite shore tripped as the wife had a 3kw heater plugged in and put the kettle on so I flicked the switch but it also tripped the motorhome trip switch too so o flicked that one and...

was looking at the predator 3500 user manual and they say that you should always have a ground rod hooked up while using…Generac says similar especially they note of hooking up to a building or rv…any thoughts? seems crazy to drive a 8 ft brass or copper ground rod every place i boondock… i’ve...

Heyo, I pick my my new tt tomorrow (224bhw) which has a 13,500AC. Just wondering what you run for a generator. My father in law has a Firman 3300 from Costco which I have my eye in as it often goes on sale. Would that be enough wattage for the rig? Won’t be running much other than lights while...

I recently bought an Sunseeker Forrest River camper. The remote hour meter on the Forrest River control panel is blank. The remote generator start works fine. I get 12.44 vdc across the hour meter terminal connectors when the generator is running (o vdc when not running). The generator is a...

After our 18 hour black out I have decided to get an Inverter Generator that I could also use with my 30 amp 5er. I am looking at either Cummins Onan P4500i Inverter Portable Generator or Honda EU3000iS Inverter Generator The Cummins is substantially less expensive but I am looking for you...

I have two GFI outlets one in bathroom controlling bedroom outlets and one in passthrough on the inverter outlets including the residential fridge. Plugged into shore 50 amp shore power I have no problems at all. Last weekend I was dry camping using either a predator 3500 or a champion 4000ish...

Normally kept the trailer plugged in. New storage location is not an option. With the generator running, the microwave has no display and neither ac unit works. I suspect the auto transfer switch is not transferring. I am not exactly sure where the transfer switch is located in my 2017 carbon...

I've read through a couple of old threads on generators. We are headed to do some Harvest Host and Boon docking camping and I'd like to ensure we have AC for those hot days. Most of our camping has been in some pretty hot regions and I just can't sleep without AC. I'm thinking about the Honda...

I have 2 Coleman A/C units, 15,000 BTU in the main living area and a 13,500 BTU in the bedroom. To start with I can only get 1 softstart. I would like to put it on the 15,000 unit as that would cool off the trailer better for overnight Boondocking with the generator. My question is will the...

Currently dry camping and have monitored charging through a Victron BMV-712 battery monitor. I have an Onan 5500 watt generator. Noticed upon startup that monitor shows about 13.20 amps going in and then amps slowly decrease over time. After an hour and a half amp input is at 7.13 amps...

Sorry to bring up anything that has already been hashed out. I have read through as many of the posts as I could stand to after searching the site. As the subject line implies, I have a Transcend Xplor 297QB and I want to get a generator that will power it for dry camping. I have looked at...

Howdy folks! I have questions about generator use with my Keystone Cougar Half Ton 28SGS and a NorthStar™ 5500 open frame generator converted to run on gas, propane, or natural gas. (I understand that when powering the generator off of propane, that my output is a bit less than with...

Hi. We have a 327mb with 50 Amp service plug. It has 2 -15k ac units. I'd like to potentially run both units and set this up for 50amp service using generators. What would you guys recommend? I was looking at the harbor freight generators vs the Hondas. Looks like I'd have to use a parallel kit...

This is our 3rd year with a Dodge Ram 3500 megacab and a 37' Primetime Avenger BHS and we've had a fabulous time. In anticipation of doing a bit of boondocking/Harvest Host camping we purchased online a Champion generator: 4500/3500, dual fuel, inverter. The truck has a tanno cover which...

I know I have to wait for generator to get up to full power before I plug my 30 amp plug in it. Now go inside and what are my next steps ? I will have battery power switch outside in off position. What panel do I look for and what do Inturn on? Or just plug TV in and watch hockey

So right now I have a duel fuel generator that I put in the back of my truck before we go, it’s a 4550 on gas and a 4100 on propane for our FS176LTD. It’s pretty heavy my question is what the smallest I could go with my AC? The AC is a Coleman-Mach 48000, I know it’s big for this small of a pop...

I am 73 and can not lift and load a GE generator in the pickup any more. I have a camper shell so I got a problem. How do some of you deal with their generators? Any cool ideas?

So today I decided to change my Europa generator oil and filter. I’m not sure if my setup is a one off but the trap door on the bottom won’t work as designed because the generator is mounted so that the door can’t swing down due to the chassis frame being in the way. To get the door off requires...

Generator won’t start from Precision Plex panel on 2019 Isata 5 30FW. Starts fine from generator control panel.

We have a new 2021 Kz-rv Sportsmen LE 28BHKLE trailer with 30a power with an air conditioner; connected to a new Westinghouse iGen4500 gas generator (4500w peak/3700w running, 37.5A peak/30.8A running). AC runs for a few minutes then the overload happens on the generator. So we turn the...

We have 2022 Fuzion 430 and the generator will not stay running more than 30 minutes or less. Has a 36 code, changed oil and filter so oil level is correct. Once it shuts down and try a restart no luck unless you push the primer button then it runs maybe 10 minutes. Do these have an additional...

Hi everyone, I'm having problems with my A/C on my 2022 Hideout 186SS. At first it wasn't working at all and supposedly they replaced the whole unit. It seems to work fine at campgrounds 30 Amp hookups. Now when I hook up the unit to my generator (Predator 3500/3000 running watts) the surge...

I have an Onan 4000 generator on my 2016 Thor Vegas 24.1. It starts up great, but then stops after a few minutes or so. I took it in to an Onan sales and service place and they just sent me a quote for $1,960 to replace the ignition coil and gasket. The parts are $66.60 and almost $1,900 is...

I need to get a generator. My General i2000 is not powerful enough to run A.C. And the rest of the trailer. I could buy a second one 1000 bucks. Or get one that will do the job. Harbor Frieght has one 3500 watt for 899.00.Is that enough? Or what should I look for? What do you folks use?.My wife...

My Onan QD 8000 on my 2021 I5 34DS smokes a lot when I start it at a higher altitude. I notice it a few times camping at 8,300 feet and 9,700 feet. At home around 5,300 feet, it just has the initial puff of smoke. This is during the summer when temps. are maybe 50 degrees in the morning. The...
