onan

Bought a Newmar and the generator was not in it. I have found a Onan 4.0 RV GenSet and am wanting to install it back in my RV. I have seen in my searches of these that some come with outer cases. Is it necessary to have one to install it back in or are they more for sound and heat protection...

I was listening to Mike & Jennifer's YouTube podcast last night. Did I hear correctly? We should exercise our generators regularly to keep fumes from building up? My wife and I bought our first Beyond RV and are new to RVing. Should we be exercising our generator, and if so, for how long and...

How many hours do you put on the generator(diesel) before it is ready for general maintenance(oil change, filters, etc…).

Just picked up our new 2027 DS 4081. It has been a great unit on our trip so far. However, I am battling a generator issue. The good news is for this trip I do not have a true generator requirement, 50A campgrounds every night and the weather should be fine that we don't need to run the A/C...

We do a ton of boondocking at MX races throughout the year and unfortunately, our 2015 Four Winds Super C is equpped with a LP generator. Has anyone converted their setup? Man, would it be convenient to have an onan QD just sipping away at the 60+ gallons of diesel that the chassis fuel tanks...

Went to warm up generator for an oil change and won't start. Primed several times, engine turns over but won't start. Removed gas fuel line from carburetor, the fuel pump is pumping gas. Removed spark plug to check for spark, seems good. Removed air cleaner and gave it a quick shot of starting...

I am confused about the AC wiring on an onan open frame 10, hdkag gen with a double pole 45 amp breaker. The previous removed the wiring leaving only lugs where the wire was connected. Am attempting to wire this gen like other onan gens are wire, 1 ground, 1 neutral, 1 hot red, and 1 hot...

I have an Onan/Cummins genset on my motorhome that’s connected to a Southwire model 41301 auto transfer switch. The past couple of times that I’ve started the genset NOT plugged in to shore power it takes 5 minutes at least before the switch lets power through to the 120v system. I wasn’t...

Hi All, Last week I purchased a 1999 Ford E-350 RV 7.3L Diesel built by Sportsmobile Texas in 1999. The last owner - a retired senior couple had this motorhome from 2016, and they used this for occasional camping. The camper is in good state and there are a few points that need to be addressed...

My rig has the Intellitec Energy Climate Control (ECC) system. Refer to attached Intellitec schematic drawing. I have had an issue for about 18 months that initially assumed was a transfer switch issue, and i replaced each transfer switch (primary and secondary). The issue is still happening...

Hello, I'm helping a disabled couple with ther 99 Fleetwood. The onan 5500 generator starts, runs anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds, then dies. There are no warning lights or codes on this old of a model. I've narrowed it down to loosing power to the coil. That wire to the coil comes from a module...

we have never needed it since class c was new 6 yrs ago. but do exercise it under a load every 4 to 6 weeks which equates to around 20 run time hrs yrly. we always use Onan 15w40 oil for yrly changes. the oil always still looked somewhat clean. can you extend oil service to every 2 yrs.??

Literally asking for a friend: Onan generator running a bit then shutting down. Drained / added fresh gas, changed fuel filter, rebuilt carb, changed plugs. Ran like a top then stopped again. Flipped off breakers on genny started ran great with quick flashing light on start button then...

My 2018 Arctic Fox 27-5L has an onboard Cummins Onan 3600 LP series generator (model number 3.6KY-26120R, spec R). I bought the camper used a little less than a year ago. The generator only has about 125 hrs on it. I put on about 10-15 of those hours. When running, the generator gives off a...

It seems that I have a gremlin in the Jenny and have dropped lots of money into it. It just won’t stay running for long periods of time. Should I just replace, re build or keep getting a service tech to come and fix? If replace what about a refurbished? Thanks for the advice, we are new to Rving...

Not sure what is going on but I had my maiden voyage this weekend with my 2 300 watt solar panels fully installed on my roof and when I went to charge my Li battery using the onboard generator I was only getting between 5-6 amps output as measured through my shunt. This was while we were...

My ONAN QG5500 was running fine with 1500 watts above output on hot day running A/C. Left for an hour and returned to find generator running 400 watts above output. Circuit breakers ok. Anyone have any ideas what cause might be for me to check and/or where to start? Many thanks.

I have a 2014 Onan QD8000 generator in my 2014 Winniebago Journey. I had to replace the batteries this summer. Since then the unit will auto-start while sensing AC Power. I have completed the tests and the unit senses when AC is present and senses when the AC power is shut off. After the...

So it sat since March which I'm sure contrubuted to the issue. Spent half the morning just to get it started. Kept getting code 14. Finall it started but had to manually mess with the linkage (choke?). So I shut it off but won't restart unless I mess with the linkage. 2013 Class C thor. So maybe...

I have sticky scroll buttons on the control panel. Can not hardly get them to work. Makes it very difficult to scroll through the options and settings. Is there a way to get the scroll buttons to work or do I need to replace the panel. This is in a 2006 Fleetwood Discovery----so older unit...
