generator

We are in the process of purchasing a used 2018 Jayco Talon 413T. It is factory prepped for a generator. I was wanting to get a 7000 watt Onan rather than a 5500 to put in there, because we will run to air conditioners as well as a washer and dryer at times. I would love to hear experiences...

We are on a month long trip and desperately need our ac to work before we hit the heat and humidity. Everything works fine when we are plugged in but nothing works off the generator. I’ve checked the breakers in the house and on the generator. I’ve let the generator run quite a while and neither...

Good evening everyone! RV Newbie here! I recently purchased the Westinghouse iGen4500 to power my 2017 Forest River Evo T195BHFS. The genny starts and runs like a champ, until I try and turn on my 15k btu AC unit. It’ll run for about 3-5 seconds after turning the ac unit to cool, then it’ll go...

Hi all, New member here. I just posted an intro in the newbie page but need help with my new-to-me 2019 Forest River Wildwood Heritage Glen 272RL. I purchase a Wen GN400i 3500/4000w inverter generator hoping to be able to run at least one of the AC units. Alas, I can only run either one for...

We had a great 4th weekend! Kids brought their TT and we had a group site. Everything went well with zero hookups. We had generators. Our two yamaha generators (2000 watt) would not run the AC. I think they may need to be re-jetted for altitude. Of course the weekend wouldn't be complete...

I have called Cummins Onan, and still have not gotten a straight answers. I am removing my 1994 Cummins Onan Generator LP 3600 and buying a new Cummins Onan RV QG 3600 LP. I wanted to know if it is the same footprint, as the old one. Two places I called to purchase it from said it was the same...

I have a 2018 Coachmen Mirada with residental frig and an inferter to run it. I replaced the two house batteries two years ago. I topped off the fluid and started charging them with my generator. I have only been able to get them chraged 1/3. I s it time to replace the batteries? How often do...

I have two Briggs and Stratton P2200 generators that I intend to pair up in order to run AC in my 50 Amp Rockwood Signature 8329SS. The outlet on the pairing unit is 30 amp. I have 30 amp/50 amp adaptors. I have both 30 amp and 50 amp Progressive Industries surge protectors. Should I hook a...

Just thought I'd take a moment & report on my first use of the Softstart RV using a generator. Last summer while camping at a campground at an elevation of 8000' we were in a site with little shade & had a hot afternoon that we wanted to rest inside. I fired up my Firman 3000 generator & thought...

Recently got a WEN 3800 (56380i) - the manual lists similar ongoing maintenance to the one below, run it an hour a month, drain the carb float every time, etc., etc... I can see draining the carb for extended periods of non-use (winter months), and of course changing oil at the recommended...

Just purchased a 3800W generator for TT and looking at options for taking it along. We've been out once with it, but it's a little to tall to operate in the bed of our pickup, which has a bed cover (gen is about 21" tall). It turned into a rainy weekend and ended up having to carry it in the...

Hi All, I am looking for a good portable generator and am thinking about the Predator brand vs Honda. Does anyone have any good or bad experiences with Predator? Was looking at Honda but it is out of our price range at this particular time as we are still economically recovering from the...

I'm debating between buying 2 small generators and run them parallel or installing a Micro Air Easy Start to reduce the wattage needed to start my 19BHLR 15k BTU AC while boondocking or dry camping. After watching a bunch of YouTube videos and reading some posts here I think the Easy Start is...

I know how to boondock - did it for 40 years with a pickup camper. And I have all the non-powered equipment I need to minimize trailer battery use. But worry about drawing down the battery too much over a 3-day period because of the trailer's parasitic draws. I have an 80 watt solar panel...

Hi. I'm having electrical problems with my ceiling lights. My rig has a generator, inverter, power converter, house batteries, etc. I think my house batteries are "dead" and i need to get them tested, but still curious if the symptoms below would be any different with new house batteries...

My battery seems to need a charge about every 5 days or it just won’t start my Jayco Alante RV. This could be a serious problem depending on the area I’m camped out in. If boondocking it would be an inconvenience of the highest order. I started thinking of the house batteries but am concerned...

Seeing this on sale at Costco for $699 in the warehouse, $799 online. https://www.costco.com/online-offers.html?&EMID=B2C_2021_0622_MVM_Preview https://www.costco.com/.product.100648883.html Looks like it'll run my dual AC 5ver. Reviews talk about THD (total harmonic distortion) of 25% and...

Need some help...My 2020 Georgetown GT7 Control panel when running the generator, the rear air will work but the front will not turn on...The panel shows it is on and fan is running but is not working. When i plug in to shore power both units run...Any ideas here...I have rebooted and still the...

Hello All, I need help, we bought a carrier basket to be able to haul our generator on the rear of our travel trailers hitch/receiver, however the issue is that the spare tire is currently mounted to the bumper. Anyone have advice for me? I bought a receiver hitch extension, but it still would...

I want to mount my generator on the back of my 2018 Wildwood trailer bumper and hard wire it into my WENCO power center with a manual rotary DTDP switch. Anybody done this successfully?

I’m running a 2017 Sunseeker. The onboard generator has worked just fine every time I’ve needed it until now. I’ve been in CO with temps in the high 90-100. When I start the generator to run the AC, everything starts up and runs fine for anywhere between 15-45 minutes. Then suddenly with no...

When i was purchasing my new to me 2016 Force. One of the hang ups was the generator would not stay running. Fault Code 12 replace inverter. Cummins Onan gave a quote of $3,700.00. The inverter itself was $2,700 and the other $1k was labor. Waiting for it to be repaired was not an option as...

Just want to throw this out there for anyone looking for a generator. I bought a 4500 Champion invertor generator and it powers everything on my TT (Geopro 19fs). I can run air conditioner and microwave, all lights, music, tv, everything at once and still only pulls about 3/4 power from the...

Hoping someone may be able to help... pulled into campground last night (Baton Rouge KOA) and our generator just up and quit! 2020 DX3 with 64 hours on the genny. Thankfully we are plugged into 50 amps and everything but the genny is working as normal. I have power to the terminal block on the...
