So Mike, take a look at this and ask yourself how this looks...
Your posts;
9/17/21 - This has been confirmed by Cummins Onan.
9/19/21 - Thanks for your replies however I have spent hours with Cummins regarding these new Inverter based generators.
9/21/21 - Yesterday I finally managed to have a short conversation with my busy friend Bill Stubbs.
So what's the truth here? If you didn't speak to Bill until 9/21, what happened on the other 2 times???
Next item;
9/18/21 - I have to inform you that your 2003 Newmar does not have an Inverter based generator. When your genny starts up goes right to high speed.
9/19/21 - I suggest you go out and start your generator you'll note it goes right to a high speed to maintain 60 hz.
9/20/21 – Bruce it looks like it's impossible to get a few members to believe they don't own an inverter generator. All they need to do is start their generator up and listen to it race without a load,
9/20/21 - The changes your hearing is not that of an inverter generator, what you’re hearing and mistaking for a faster speeds is actually the engine speeding up momentary from a drop in rpm from as load was applied.
9/21/21 - Bill mentioned that while all Onan diesel generators use an inverter module, the newer Onan’s now use a different inverter based processor protocol…
Seeing as you told all these people they didn't know what they were talking about - and actually doubled down on it, and not very politely either, don't you think this would have been a good time to hand out a few apologies? It's ok to make a mistake - we all do that - the trouble is when you proclaim to be the expert and, in this case, simply had no idea what you were talking about, then totally disregarded the information from those who actually did.
Bruce thanks for the reply - As I mentioned numerous times, I immediately noticed a contrast difference between the old and newer gen units with a revised Protocol within minutes when I first started the generator at North Trail.
It's also important that you understand - I have spoken over a dozen Cummins Onan tech's since I bought my coach last year, most all confirmed there were operational differences in the newer gen sets at the same period the newly released 2500i and 2800i inverter based generators were released.
In my last post I clearly stated that I just spoke to Mr. Stubbs yesterday evening for his accurate assessment on the newer generators where he confirmed there were major operational differences.
Regretfully, since you don’t own one of these newer generators, so you’re speaking “off the cuff” without any real "User" experience. In retrospect, I had both my old coach (standard set) and new coach (new protocol) in my garage for 3 months parked side by side for comparison of the generators. Therefore, I speak from facts, I didn’t just wake up one morning and dream this thing up!
Best Regards - Mike
