generator

I was wandering how and where everybody with portable generators carry there gas cans.

We recently bought a 2010 Eagle Ridge 35 QSQB Fifth Wheel. I'd like to use a generator to run the A/C while we're driving so we can keep our dogs cool in the trailer. There's a compartment up front for a generator, but the actual plug for the power cord is in the rear of the trailer. The...

i am going to be installing a generator in the front compartment of my 3300RLB later this week (when it finally gets here, yay!). how easy/difficult is it to gain access to the floor space above/below the basement storage compartment? how about the bulkhead for access to the back side of the...

I just purchased an Edge 18. I am thinking about getting a generator large enough to run the A/C unit. I would like to know what size generator I should look to buy. Any ideas about brand, weight, and cost would be helpful. Thanx in advance for any help. Scott

I was in my local Menard's yesterday and came upon a McCullough portable generator. It was rated at 1500 watts and there was no indication on the display unit or on the box that it was an inverter model. Clearance price was $399.00. I know 1500 watts doesn't go far but that $399 price has me...

I found this XG-SF3000 generator on ebay. Has anyone experience with these generators? The price and what they claim seem to good to be true. Thanks in advance for your responses.

I have a Honda 3000 and would like to mount it in the basement of my 3055RL. Any suggestions?:confused:

It's time to change the oil on my onan 5500, has anyone tried anything other than onan oil, I would really like to go syn..mobile 1, royal purple,something along that line... has anyone gone this route

Hi everyone, OK, some of the Bighorn units at our dealer's lot have "generator prep" option from the Heartland factory. I understand this in principle, but admit I may be misunderstanding this option entirely. So, what generators work with the way the unit has been prep'd? Can I purchase a...

Greetings! We'll be buying a LM Pinehurst this summer and I'm undecided about whether or not to order the built-in generator. The literature lists the option as a 5.5 kw Onan LP generator. Does that mean it runs only on LP, or does it also run on gasoline? I'm assuming it's a matter of...

I have an 09 26RK. Has anyone added aftermarket shocks (Monroe or Dexter), if so were they effective in controlling bounce? I also want to add a receiver hitch in the rear so I can mount a cargo carrier to carry a generator (when I get one). TTrox

I really like the Yamaha generators. I will rarely be off the hook in the summer but want the ability and flexibility to run AC if needed. How do I deal best with not being hooked-up and how long will I last with a generator etc... What model 3000/4000 what is the minimum for good performance.

Can anyone give me some advice? My Onon 5500 will not start! I have stablized gas, prime,gas in the bowl,removed and cleaned the carb, and all the stuff everyone has tryed and still no luck. What I have come up with is that the valve on the bottom of the bowl with two wires connected to it is...

I am about to install a new 5500 generator in my front compartment of my fifth wheel. Wondering if anyone has a factory installed generator in a fifth wheel, and if they have any comments own noise level. AlsoI would love to see a photo or suggestions on the box that is built inside for fumes...

I am having trouble getting my 5500 Onan gen to start. I have read the problems others have had and none of them match mine. I have stableized gas getting to the carb, filling the bowl, prime pump works fine. The gen will start and run fine if I pour gas into the carb, but will only run for a...

I have looked in the front compartment for generator connections and haven't found anything that resembles any. I am contemplating installing a generator in the front compartment OR put the gen in the truck bed and use a cord from the front compartment to plug up to the gen set. Does anyone...

Have any of you insulated the front cap and generator compartment? I spent some time trying to figure out why my bed was cold a while back and when I took the time to disassemble the bed I saw daylight coming through a crack under the bed. I sprayed spray foam out of it and I was looking today...

I'm looking at purchasing the 3670RL with both a/c's and generator prep.What size generator would i need to run both a/c's since my wife and i will have family stay in our 5'ver with us?

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a News Release regarding the Recall of Portable Generators due to possible fire hazard.

Based on the discussion concerning how much generator need to power the Apollo Half-time oven in my 09 North Trail fiver, I am looking at a Yamaha EF2800iC generator. I don't need a larger generator and this one is rated at 20.8/ 23.3 amps. Anyone have any experience with this unit? Thanks, TTrox

I am considering a Honda eu2000i, hoping that it will power the Apollo 1/2 time oven. Does anyone one know if this will work. Thanks, BobNone

I have been in the market to purchase a large portableemergency generator ... one that would run the unit with no problem. I have been looking at generators with a wattage around 6500 -8000 but the problem I have is which one ... each has some little differences in fuel capacity, run time, etc...

Evening All!, I need to know if I get the generator prep option on a Big Horn, is it the intention of this prep to use LP gas? I want to use gasoline as the fuel, in my research both the 6.5kw as well as the 5.5kw Onan get a little better economy using gasoline verses LP. I've found out that...

Is there anything I can do to extend the life of the generator? I have not found the Onan manual in the stack of paper that came with the rig but I imagine there's a maintenance schedule in there and I'll meet/exceed that. Upon delivery I made a point of putting 3 hours use on the generator...

I have a brand new 3795 cyclone with Onan Generator. The generator runs fine however when you turn on the top circuit breaker on the generator, the generator shuts off. i have contacted the Onan Service Techs and they think it is wired incorrectly or the Automatic switch is bad. I live many...

Just got my brand new Cyclone 3795 and ran gen set for the first time this weekend, starts fine but noticed no power. Took cover off Gen set and saw circuit breakers in off position. Turned them to on and proceded to start Generator. Would run for a second, then shut off. Turned Circuit breakers...

I am having a problem starting the generator on my 2008 Cyclone 3210. I normally start and run it for an hour every month. the starter will turn over but the generator will not fire up and run. There is 1/2 tank of stablized fuel and it is flowing to the generator. I cannot find any electronic...

I know what some of you are going to say about a cheep generator……but here’s the question anyway. Although I have the original generator in the trailer, I went a bought a cheep Wal-Mart 4500 generator to run the A/C during the day……to keep the Hrs off the one in the trailer. I have a 2008, 3010...

Hi guys last trip out it was raining one evening kids watched movies in the garage adults partied under the awning. Approx 4hrs later the alarms went off and the trailer was full of exhaust. Trailer is a 3795 with factory installed onan 5.5 doors and widows were all closed. Has anyone else had...

After having a Generator problem on My new Razor I saw how difficult it was for my dealer to get it out. They had to bend the right side of the box and turn the generator at an angle to get the heavy beast out. After some measuring we found that if the box was made about 2 in. wider and the door...

I'd like to get a portable generator for our camper. We have never boondocked, but might try it. I want to run the 15K BTU a/c as well as lights/necessities. Any suggestions? and possible costs?? and from where? What do I look for and what would I steer away from? Thanks! Mark
