    AC unit trips several different generators

    I have a 2003 Sunseeker Class c. Whenever the AC compressors kicks on after running for a while, it will kill the coach gen. Gen is a 4000. It has even done it to an external 7500 watt gen. When hooked to shore power, it won’t trip but you can tell it’s working hard. AC is brand new with a brand...

    Generator

    I leave my pets in my RV sometimes while I am at the beach, but I have noticed I can’t trust that the generator will stay running to keep the air conditioner in on. Is there some reason the generator shuts itself off randomly?

    Take gas from truck for generator?

    I have a 22 2500 HD gas, my little Wen generator holds about a gallon of gas. I asked at the GM forum, no help. Seems like that 32 gallon tank should be able to share just a little bit.

    Using AC with Generator.

    Hi, I don't have shore power and have a brand new Honda EU3200i. It's rated to run a 13.5 BTU ac unit. I'm having trouble getting the AC to start. Sometimes I have to switch the AC on multiple times before it will start. I've tried putting the "fan" setting on first for a few minutes then...

    Built in generator

    I own a 2019 Forest River Sunseeker model 3010DS with the built in Cummins 4000 watt gas generator. I thought I knew what the hour meter was telling me but then I noticed 1/10 th. The reading is 420, does that mean 420 hours or 42.0 hours x 10

    Onan 4000 generator

    I have an old Onan QG 4000 EVAP generator on my old FR Sunseeker MH that I can not get to run. It turns over but won't start. I bought an aftermarket carb and installed it, but that made no difference. There are so many different carbs out there, it's hard to decide which one is correct. I see...

    Generator Gremlins

    Hello fellow Berkshire owners. We have a 2020 XLT 45A. It spent the last almost 2.5 weeks at the local Cummins shop getting the front and back end of the motor resealed after both oil seals around the crankshaft failed. When I dropped it off, I turned the house batteries off at the cut-off...

    Starting the NPS5500 Generator

    The NPS5500 generator in the 2023 30DS starts up quite reliably when cold: Prime for 8 seconds and it catches almost instantly. But when the generator is warm, like when shutting down to get gas, restarting it is almost impossible. I have tried starting without priming. Priming a little...

    "Noisy" Generator?

    I've heard that generators, like the Onan 4000 in our SunSeeker 3100SS, put out "dirty" power. Last week I put an oscilloscope on our generator and got the waveform in the (hopefully) attached picture. Is this what we can expect from the unit? We also have a built-in Surge-Guard unit, if that...
