generator

I've seen this conversation going back and forth for quite a while and finally run across a guy that said he started a 13500 AC with his 2200 watt gen. Well I have a Westinghouse wh 2200 ixlt and I did the math on the demand for the AC and the capabilities of my generator and eureka, it started...

Hi All, not posting to ask for help, just sharing my recent experience as it might help some other clueless ding dong like me from going through what i just went through. Soooo I have a pair Champion 2000 watt generators (100478) and a parallel kit. When i first bought these in 2019 they ran...

Hi, new here. Anyone had their NPS generator quit running after 10 minutes? Repeatable on the road or parked. After a "cool down" will run again for 10 minutes. NPS says it is a FR problem. FR says they are working on it. All I know is it is frustrating! Thanks SGJ

I have an ONAN 4000 installed and when I'm running the generator it produces 12.8/9 V. Is there a way to increase the voltage output?

We are in a 2006 Travel Supreme and we plugged into 50 amp power today and the A/C won't run. Also, only half of the outlets on the coach are getting power. The thermostat is blinking the E7 error, which I know means Loss of 120 VAC power to all power module boards on the system. But, how do I...

I could use some help. Problem Description: Our Cummings Onan QG-5500 quits when driving. The gas tank is full. The generator runs for over 24 hours without any issues when parked. Once we start driving, the generator stops working. Model #: 5.5 HGJAB-1038L Action to Date: I've taken our...

We have a 2018 Coachmen Freelander Motorhome 21RS with a 4,000 watt ONAN generator. The "genni' has been working OK up until the last couple outings. The last two separate times out this summer, it quit running shortly after turning on. We usually run it with the AC on, while driving to the...

With generator as power source AC doesn't work. Suggestions where to start?

Occasionally you'll see $200 off deals like this, and finally it came!! Normally $599. 400 bucks is a great deal for a 2500/2200 generator.

Opinions please. Currently leaning toward Generac....

We just purchased a 2013 Cherokee Forest River Vengeance 37 ft toy hauler. It has a generator but we can’t find an start switch inside the trailer. Does anyone know where it should be located? It is not on the control panel or near the battery switch. Is it possible there is not start switch...

I have a 2016 Thor Quantum 31ft C class. Went to start the generator and I lost all power to the house except the fridge. When I plug in the shore power I get power to everything except the stereo. Went through and checked all the circuit breakers and voltage. I had a friend take it for the...

Hi, I’m fairly new to trailers but recently purchased a 2020 Grey Wolf Limited. We are planning to do a lot of dry camping, normally for just a weekend but sometimes 7-10days. The trailer had an interstate lead acid battery that was not going to do the job. I purchased 4x 3.2v LifePo4 with a...

This may already be on a thread someplace but just saw this article for any of you that own a Generac Generator. https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2021/generac-recalls-portable-generators-due-to-finger-amputation-and-crushing-hazards#

Greetings, This has been a multi-month saga. This march my slideouts decided to stop operating while I was under generator power. Everything else including the AC will operate just fine on generator power. If I plug in to shore power the slides operate. My batteries were at the end of...

Hello All, I started a thread on solar but would also like to discuss inverter generators. I’ve read a bunch here and seems most are using 3k+ inverter gens. What is the quietest unit available for the money? What is the beat warranty? I’d like something that could run low idle to...

Hi Everyone When using a generator to charge up my two 6 volt golf cart batteries is it quicker to plug the camper into the generator or plug battery charger into generator and hook alligator clips to battery?

Folks, need a little help. Have been trying to start the generator with no luck. Started with the unit plugged into a 50 amp connection tried the manual start, the amp meter went from 13.5 to 6 amps, the lights flickered and nothing. Tried with the motor running, no shore power similar...

I searched and didn't get a good "review" answer, so here goes. I'm considering the Westinghouse iGen4500 4,500/3,700-Watt Gas Powered Inverter Generator. $876.00 on Amazon including free Prime shipping. Then there's this guy: Champion Power Equipment 200987 4500-Watt RV Ready Portable...

Ours will work fine until we come to a complete stop (in 90+ degree air temps). It'll sputter before shutting off. Or, the generator will work fine, but the 30 amp breaker that covers our 2021 33DS' front AC decides to flip. Makes me wonder how Onan gen's would perform...

First post! I have an A128S and we recently picked up a generator to help cool the camper for naptime. We tow with an SUV though and don't have a simple solution to the gas fumes problem. The generator is too big to lift into the storage bin at the front of the camper so it'll have to go into...

I have a 2016 Rockwood Signature Ultra lite 8286ws and am thinking of getting a portable generator to use at sites with no electric. I know next to nothing about electricity, so I am looking for recommendations on a unit to buy and/or where to go a purchase one. I will need someone to show me...

I purchased a Predator 3500 Inverter/Generator last year, and it has performed beautifully on several camping trips in the "Boonies". However, since we have not used the generator for more than a year, the on-board starter battery has gone flat. Does anyone know if it is safe to re-charge the...

Just bought a 2021 Rockwood Ultra Lite model 2881s 5th wheel and would like to purchase a generator that would be enough to power one AC unit at a time, lights and TV. There is so much information out there that my head is spinning!! Looking for some advise on what size generator to buy. Thanks

I've searched a bunch of forums/posts and I'm still confused. I installed a PI EMS-HW50 last year and tried the Briggs & Stratton P3000 Generator for the first time last week. We normally use shore power, but will be doing some boondocking next month. I've never had a problem with shore power or...
