Default Generator is Making Me Crazy

Hello all! I need help. We have a 2014 Pleasureway Ascent with an Onan 2.5 kw propane generator on board.
Recently, it started exhibiting the following behavior: When completely cold it will immediately start, run perfectly for 2-8 minutes, start surging, sometimes backfire once or twice and then die. It then will not re-start until it cools off completely.
I just spent about $1900 on it at an Onan dealer’s repair shop trying to fix the problem. They told me it runs fine on the bench. They thought the solonoid on my propane tank was bad so I had it replaced (another $450) at the Class B dealership where I bought the coach originally - no change. They also tested the regulator and said it appears to be fine. For what it’s worth, all other propane appliances have consistently worked fine, before and after the solonoid replacement.
I am truly at my wit’s end with this. Any ideas?
