    Generator not powering A/C & Electrical Outlets

    Generator will provide power to rear A/C unit, but not to front A/C unit or to any electrical outlets in the coach. Shore power provides complete power to all A/C units and outlets. No breakers on the generator are tripped. I swapped position of generator breakers and still have the same...

    Generator Overload due to Gen/GFCI breaker?

    Hello everyone, I'm new to the forums. Glad to be here. I'm trying to get into boondocking with my 26dbud. I bought a Westinghouse igen 4500 dual fuel to run my trailer with 15k AC. Everything kicks on fine. AC runs for about 5 to 10 minutes and then all of a sudden my generator will chug and...

    Generator broken??

    So we bought our 2022 I3 RW last September. The generator has always run lousy. The whole unit has been in and out the repair shop many times. I always mention how bad the generator runs. This last time they said they adjusted the idle set screw and that supposedly fixed it. Not. So about 3...

    Installed generator

    Can a generator be installed in a Cedar Creek 36RE that can be operated where it sits? Where would it go and how is the exhaust routed? Is there a particular model?

    Shore or Generator Dominant?

    We had a strange occurrence this past week. We have a 2022 Dynaquest TS. Plugged into shore power, turned on both A/C units and went to the pool to cool off in this Texas triple-digit heat. Came back a few hours later to find the coach at 97 degrees inside, no A/C's running. So, I turned...

    Onan 5500 shutting off

    First time boondocking: Our Onan RV QG 5500 will run for hours, then randomly shuts off. Oil level is fine, 3/4 tank of gas. Error code appears to be 34, which I cannot find in a manual. Generator will restart pretty easily. Sometimes on restart, it will run but not produce power to the coach...

    ‘22 Europa 31SS Onan Generator

    Since leaving AZ in early May our generator has worked intermittently. We get the 3 36 error. We tried to have someone look at it while in Elkhart but came up empty. I tried every service center at our planned stops for the next 60 days and got the same response. So, as usual, we’re on our own...

    When I'm on shore power, or running on the inverter everything works fine in the RV. As soon as I turn on the generator my GFI pops. It happens everytime and usually it resets okay after a couple trys. Its pretty annoying. I make sure to not have anything plugged in or turned on when we fire...

    Hi all, We recently downsized from a Momentum 350G to a Reflection 150. While the layout and overall size of the Reflection 150 Bunk House work better for our family (a 3 and 6 year old) boondocking in National Forest and BLM spots with a shorter length, I find it's been a lot tougher to...
