    Batteries and Generator

    I've been doing a bit of research on solar/battery setups and their use for my 2022 E-Pro 19BH. It has a 190 watt solar panel and I installed two 81 ah flooded batteries to start. As close as I can figure I'm using somewhere around 4 amps/hr during the night to run the camper. Problem is that...

    Good evening! I am new to RVing, and bought a 2020 Forrester 2551. We took it out for a small trial run, and everything worked fine! However, now that I am back home, the generator runs, but it does not power the vehicle. Any idea where I need to look at? I have already checked the obvious...

    Generac Generator Not Initiating Output

    Need Help with Generac 40G 3600 watt Generator. I removed my 2007 Sunseeker from storage and the generator starts and runs fine but does not start generating AC voltage. I have experienced this before and it kicked in on a second startup. This time repeated startups do not work. I suspect a...

    50A service & solar & generators

    We will be upgrading soon (as soon as our current TT sells) and I have been working thru wants/needs/issues I foresee in a new RV. One of them is solar and battery and generator issues. Thus . . . . . The trailer that is our current 1st choice will come with a 50A service and a solar package...

    Removing the generator panel to be towed short distances

    As recently discussed in another thread, my AC pump froze and broke my serpentine belt. Coachnet fuddled around to find me someone for service, but they finally connected me to a local small-town shop. They screwed up the repair order, so I wound up having to pay the bills myself. That’s not the...

    Carrying generator

    So, I probably should have asked this before ordering a generator. We are getting a Champion 4500/3400 inverter generator to take when we camp off grid. I know we don’t want to carry it in the trailer and since we have a Suburban that’s out too. So, my thought is a cargo carrier on the back...

    Generator stops when letting off start switch

    I've searched here but can't find a similar thread. My generator starts, but when I release of the toggle start switch it stops. Anyone know of a fix for this? Happens regardless of the amount of gas in tank.

    Non-inverter generator

    Hello. We have been invited to go boondock camping for a weekend with some friends. It’s going to be a bit warm, so we would like to be able to use our A/C. We don’t have a generator but one friend has a Champion 4375 Dual fuel that we can borrow. It has the 30 amp RV receptacle, and I think...

    Is there a switch when using the generator

    I bought a 1995 GeorgieBoy motorhome and have been rehabbing it. We got the onboard Kohler generator running. There is power coming out of the generator wired into a 110v box in the top of the generator compartment. However, in the next compartment there is no power to the breaker box. Is...

    Running A/C on generator

    I live near Las Vegas. Temps are in the about 105 today and I want to clean the fifth Wheel. My Fifth Wheel has dual A/C's and my generator only puts out 23.5 amps. House current will not run both A/C's and I can't find a way to turn off one of my A/C's. Is there a way to turn off 1 A/C?

    Homemade solar generator.

    G’day folks, I have a theory that I’d like to float around. I’m still somewhat new to the solar game and boondocking. I like it and want to be a little more invested into it, but don’t really have the charging ports in my trailer or truck (without running it) to support the little things like...

    2021 Isata 5 30FW I am trying to run MH off a Champion 4375-3500 Dual fuel generator. Why? I am on the Gulf coast, close to bad weather. Yes I have a 8KW generator in the MH. When Hurricane Harvey hit, we couldn't get gas or diesel, this is the reason I want to run the Champion Generator on...

    New Cummins Onan® Diesel generator does not start

    We just took delivery on our 2022 Winnebago View 24D. After taking delivery, I had about a 1.5 hour drive to get it home. On the way, a large storm moved in. So I pulled into a Chevron/McDonald's combo that had spaces for trucks and RVs. I got some food and hunkered down. Being in Florida, it...

    I have a new 2022 Keystone Cougar RDS23 w/ factory 400 watt Solar, (2) A/C units, TV, Microwave, Lighting, etc. I can’t find through searching this forum what size or make generator would be a good choice.

    inverter generator overkill?

    Little did I know 2 years ago when I purchased a TT that a 30 amp service is limited to the number of equipped devices that can be used simultaneously. Hot water heater, AC and converter with fridge are over 30 amps and Hughes Performer disconnects. All 15 and 20 amp breakers total 95 amps with...

    2018 Isata 5 35 DB. What is the exact relationship between the atwood a/c units and the thermostat / inverter / generator? Basically, what is running when the gen is off, no shore power but thermostat is on? I guess what I'm getting at is while driving down the road, can we leave the...

    Generator won’t shut off

    I have a 2018 FR Sunseeker MBS and am currently having a problem with the generator not shutting down from the control panel above the fridge. I went out to “exercise” it today and it starts up and runs fine. When I go to shut it down, nothing happens. I have to go around to the generator and...
