Several years ago I had a brand new MH with a 4500 genset in it (30a). A loud noise and it stopped working. Took it in to Cummins and it ended up that the turbine shaft broke in the motor and destroyed the inside. Guy told me it happens sometimes, "it either happens within 20 hours or not at all". Replaced it within a day and was on my way. The replacement genset ended up failing as well a few mos later. Running it in the drive before a trip, smelled smoke and it stopped. That time the board fried. Still under warranty they replaced it with a new board. Never had another issue for the remaining 4 years we owned the MH.

cummins manual
section 5 tells you the codes.
