thanks for the reply. the generator is a onan model bge-fa/26100p. it may be the house batteries that are low. I had it on the charger for several hours then hooked up to the shore power over night. rv is parked for a tailgate party this evening, so I don't have access to it for a while. I'll try pulling the battery leads cleaning them, assuming I can get a wrench on them, it's pretty tight in there. any idea how many amps it takes to start the thing? I've got a 50amp charger/starter that could be hooked up directly if that might work.
I already know the brakes and tires need replacement. researching on what to put on there and who can do it. my normal auto place doesn't have facilities to jack up an rv. I'll have them check the brake lines. pre purchase inspection showed brake fluid flush is needed, but since the rotors are trashed, I think that's a given anyways.
not having remote actuating doors is driving me nuts. I was looking at these if anyone has tried them http://www.trimarkcorp.com/en/zPlatform.aspx?platformid=282&categoryid=89
supposedly they can be electrically activated.
