Generator won’t stay on

[Steve Lesniak]

I just purchased a 2018 Mercedes/Winnebago Era 170A. It has an Onan generator QG 2500 LP with 10 hrs on it. When starting, the generator runs for 10/20 seconds then cuts out. Same when I run the LP burners in the galley. Vehicle may have sat on the dealers lot for a while - and my 30 day warranty has run out. I read the regulator may need to be replaced. Any suggestions? Any suggestions on where to take it in the Charleston SC area? Thank you!

Hi: It sounds like your propane regulator is not working properly. You can have it tested or you can just replace it. If you have easy access to it. I would just replace it with a new one. Even brand new vehicle's propane regulators go bad very quickly.
