This is a new issue on my 2017 Midwest Auto Sprinter Weekender, with an LP Onan 2800 generator.
Everything was working fine until I had the starter battery replaced at a national chain. Beginning immediately afterwards, the generator will not start unless the RV is running. And once the generator IS running, it shuts off instantly when the RV is turned off.
This happens even when connected to shore power.
While the generator is running, it supplies AC power to the RV just as before, running the air conditioner or microwave, for example, without problems. While running, the generator also charges the house batteries just as before.
In other words, the genny seems to be behaving normally once running, but it will only run if the RV itself is running.
What could have happened during the starter battery replacement to explain this behavior?
All fuses and breakers appear to be good.
Thanks in advance,
--Greg
