New information on genreator
I've been a member for 12 years and had the same Gulfstream Vista Cruiser all that time.
Recently I was trying to start my propane Onan 2500LP genset and it suddenly quit cranking. I took it to an Onan service center after replacing the coach battery and tracing the wires as best I could without finding anything.
They dropped the unit out from under the floor and tested it, it cranked perfectly. So, they checked the battery wire and found a small (1-1/2" x 3/4") 50 amp inline circuit breaker over by the water pump.(that's 4 feet from the battery)
So, I learned a $450.00 lesson (they only charged me for 3 hours and had 6 in it) that the generic books that came with my van, said nothing about the existence of this breaker.
Frankly I would have never thought this little piece of plastic was a circuit breaker.
My genset has 59 hours on it and looks like new and now runs like it.
