Onan 5500

We have a Onan 5500 installed in our Landmark Grand Canyon that has only 3 hours on it. The other day I started the gen, cranked up the air conditioner and immediately the breaker on the gen blew. No biggie, just rest, started the gen, let stabilize then started restarted the air conditioner. Worked great but now we have a ticking sound coming from behind the control panel. Did not notice this before. Maybe the hour meter? Normal? Anyone have ideas?

I sorta thought that would be what is causing the noise. And when I say noise, that is exactly what it is, a lot of noise. To the point we won't use the gen for any longer than necessary. No watching TV with it that's for sure.

I have heard that the complete panel can be replaced with a complete digital unit. That might be the way to go.

Thanks for the help guys!
