    Generator shuts off when we hit a bump

    Our generator shuts off when we hit a bump in the road. It started to do it occasionally, now it is quiet often. Sometimes it will restart on its own if it is a smaller bump other times it does not. Ant suggestions? Thanks for any help. I

    Is it safe to drive RV with generator disabled?

    I'm sorry to keep posting new threads that are basically regarding the same subject. I'm hoping this is the last one on this topic for me. Long story short, our generator stalls out, and we believe the fix is a new Fuel Pump & Fuel Filter. That's a whole separate story, and I'm not here to...

    Onboard Generator option

    Hi, I am looking at a 23MLE Arctic Wolf as I am downsizing from my toy hauler. I do boondock a lot and frequently camp where there is no available shore power. I am trying to determine if there is a spot on the 23MLE that an onboard generator can be installed. Can the spare tire mount be moved...

    I have a 2024 Sunseeker with a Yamaha generator. On the end of the generator exhaust pipe is a spark arrestor. I attend dog shows where sometimes they require vertical exhaust systems on the generator exhaust pipe. I have a Camco Gen Turi (I used this on my previous RV without issues). What...

    Generator not Powering Roof A/C

    2011 Tour CD. Recently, while on the road and in conditions needing supplemental cooling in the coach, the Onan 10kw QD would start the main a/c units, but then they would shut down. Now, they don’t even fire up. Power monitoring panel shows 83 amps available. Breakers not tripped on genny or...

    2017 Coachmen Mirada - Onan Generator - with generator on - all applicances are working but not a single electrical outlet - I know it is probably something as simple as a switch somewhere but we haven't been able to figure it out. Any advice would be great.

    Newbie question re: generator

    I just purchased a 2006 Sightseer, haven't even picked it up yet. When I was looking at it, the generator would start and run, but whenever I turned the ignition off, the generator would eventually die. The seller didn't know much about it. I'm not sure if the Aux switch was on or off, but I'm...

    I have a Westinghouse Igen 4500. It peaks at 4500 and runs at 3700, on gas. I have a Coachman Apex with a single AC unit, GE. When first engaged, the generator powers the AC.

    Onan 4000 generator hard starting?

    Our 2018 Vista LX generator has always been a little hard to get started since the day we bought the RV new. You have to prime it, crank, prime again, crank, prime again and crank. Usually on the third time it starts. I crank it for 10 to 15 seconds. That seems like it would be hard on the...
