generator

Maybe this question is too general given all the years and different models but…. 1. Assume my shore power cord is connected……If my Sunseeker is plugged into shore power, and everything is fine, is there any damage done by starting the generator BEFORE unplugging? 2. Assume my shore power...

I admit I've always been a lurker even though I purchased my (now old school Ford E-250) Sportsmobile in 2008. I don't take it out very often, baby it, garage it all the time it's not moving, and have never had an issue until now. I have an Onan microlite gas generator that is busted. It has...

My display is showing error but my generator seems to be working OK. There is no code number just reads "error".

So have a 4KY-26100R Onan 4KW Gen Set in my Forrester Classic 2441DS. I've had the carb and fuel pump replaced by the dealer and that resolved the run for 15 min and die issue. However I still have an issue with it running under a load and it sputters and stops like its running out of gas. I've...

Hoping someone in the know can tell me if what I was told by a "salesman" is true. He told me that the 2023 Isata 3 they have in stock is one of the very last with a diesel generator in the whole country, and that Dynamax is eliminating it as an option moving forward. I can neither confirm nor...

Has anyone removed the NPS5500 and used it for your house? We don’t use our generator and would like to use the space for other things. But I would like to keep the generator and convert it to propane if possible and use it for our home generator. Let me know if anyone has done this. Thanks in...

If you start generator up because of no power. Then power is restored. Does it hurt the generator if it's plugged into 50 amp?

Shopping for Genny's for the Wildwood X-lite. (30 amp) Have had some of the guys I work with anywhere from 4500 watts to 7500. Any ideas on best size to run the camper "normally?" Will be in South Texas for the next 12 months, so obviously A/C will be a thing in 4-5 months.

Anyone ever install additional exhaust muffler to quiet down their generator? Specifically talking about a portable unit rack-mounted on the back of a 5'r. Thanks

2015 View Cummins Onan RVQD 3200 diesel generator quit working last winter while trying to start. Start panel inside RV went dark. 1st tech said we needed a new start panel. 2nd tech changed a fuse & the start panel light is on but generator not working. We have been told we need a new starter...

Will I get a better battery charge rate from my generator with my 50A cord into the generator versus a 110V extension cord? I have a 12V fridge with two 6Volts golf cart batteries and 180w solar. It uses about 10% battery an hour without sun so pretty much run generator most of the day and...

I have a Puma 5th wheel I installed a 7000watt onan cummins generator. It was prepped for one but never had one installed before. I have 120 volts coming out of both legs from the generator going to the auto transfer switch and 120 volts coming out of the transfer switch going to the control...

I need some advice from the brain trust here. I have a 2016 coachman Orion. The generator is an Onan qg2800 gas unit. I have a lot of trouble starting it. Sometimes it will startup right away and runs great. Other times it will start, sound weak and die after a few seconds. It seams that I...

Hello, I have a Onan Marquis 6500 LP that stalls out after running for 10-15 minutes. When it dies the engine studders and sound like it starving for fuel. Propane tank is full. Not for sure where to start looking. The 10- 15 minute run time makes me think the issues has something to do with...

I'm working on converting to Lithium batteries, but in the process of inspecting my rig I've been intrigued by the fact that there appears to be all of the wiring in place to drop in a generator. Now, I've got two Honda generators that I use together (2200 and 2000) that I have added to my...

I am going to be borrowing a 2022 Forester MBS 2401B rv and was trying to wrap my head around a few things before i get it. I am sure the owner will have some answers, but the rv is fairly new to him and he may not know all of the questions i might i have. The rv has a 3,600 watt propane...

Been fighting this issue and just wanted to see if anyone might have delt with this specific code recently as seems rather rare and limited info out there. The general symptoms are it will start fine and seems to run ok in general but if listen to it/observe closely every few minutes can hear...

Leaving Minnesota for the winter and my generator would not start. After an exhaustive web search I discovered my generator runs just fine. THE PROBLEM: TOO COLD OUTSIDE. My Westinghouse i4500 duel fuel generator sits in the back of my truck. I use it power my 2007 Keystone Montana 3400RL...

Hi all, I am a RV owner of a 2000 Winnebago Adventurer. I am not new to RV camping but have a gen set that was working great but had a bad starter. Replaced the starter and start solenoid. But now it will not work at all even with 12 volts at the solenoid. There was a person that had a...

07 Roadtrek Agile SS. Onan 2.5KV Propane. The generator starts just fine. But now it does not come online as in the past. About 20 to 30 seconds after it starts you can hear the generator 'bog' down intermittently. This sounds like it is trying to connect but cannot. I just don't know...

Good morning. I need some guidance if what I am doing is incorrect. I wanted to start a monthly schedule for exercising my generator with some load. I have an Onan 7KB and a Transfer switch from Southwire, which is a model 40450-RVC automatic transfer with shore power sensing. There are two...

Hello :) So I'm looking for opinions. The used class C RV I just bought has a non-working Onan 4000 generator. I can hear the starter click, but it doesn't turn over. The Hobbs meter says it has a little over 1400 hours on it. I've heard that 1500 hours is the expected end of life for that...

My RV QG 5500 Onan generator will run for a couple minutes and then die the fuel pump is working,air cleaner is good, oil is full, gas tank is 3/4 full, pulled the bowl off and was clean as a whistle. What am I missing

My Onan RV QG 5500 won't stay running I pulled the pump off and it is pumping gas the oil is full I am getting codes 3,15,and 36. It will run for about a minute and then shuts down

Since my original post on oil consumption on my QG4000, I have run 20 hours of high load, in 1-2 hour intervals to do any "break in" to see if this would help reduce oil consumption. After doing this I changed the oil and set the level to the top of the hash mark (level is checked after...
