1999 Winnebago Adventurer Generator Service

I'm trying to find out what parts I need to service the generator.
Can I get the parts I need at Walmart, an auto parts store, or will I need to go the nearest RV dealer?
  • Assuming you have an Onan, possibly 5BGE, parts like oil, filters, spark plugs readily available at Auto parts stores.
  • If WalMart doesn't have what you need, go to an Auto Parts store.
    There's nothing special about the plugs and filters.
  • Thanks guys! I really didn't want to drive over an hour to the nearest RV dealer.... :B

    Be sure to bring the model and serial number of the generator with you. They will use that to identify the correct part. The make and year of the motorhome is immaterial.
  • if you post Onan gen model and spec, You would probably even get part numbers to help you out with your shopping
  • My local truck parts dealer has always had the fuel and oil filters but at times the air filter is out of stock and requires several days to get in. Can't say why and it has never been an issue since I'm rarely in a hurry for any of them. I try to keep a full set of filters on hand so I can do my service when it is convenient for me.
