Generator question

I can't imagine what the conditions must be for a serviced and tuned generator to reach the overheat and shut it's self down. I ran my Onan 4k in all kinds of hot outside temperatures and never had that issue. The manufacturer calculated hot climates into the design. There would have to be some other issue, like a bad switch or something.

Often it's not the genset design but the layout and where the manufacturer places it in the MH. Ours would shut down on hot days stuck in traffic. But the manufacturer put the genny right behind the engine near the headers in a pretty closed in bin. So it was getting all the heat from the motor. But overheat shutdown is more common than you think, especially with the smaller splash lube models.
