The Onan 30 amp gasoline generator (sorry don't have the model number available) has shut off twice while driving. This is a new motor home and generator. We were running the gen strictly to power the refrigerator. The first time we were traveling at hwy speed and heard a loud "pop". Stopped and checked tires, etc. but never thought to check the gen and didn't notice it was off until we reached our destination. Traffic noise was so loud I didn't notice the gen wan't running. The second time no noise, but it wasn't running when we arrived home. Both times we were able to start the gen once we noticed it had shut off. Taking it to the dealer tomorrow to have other items taken care of, and I'll add this to the list.
Sounds like the problem will be taken care of, with whatever it is.
On another note, I'd see about powering your fridge with an inverter, when going down the road and if you already have one, see about getting an outlet back behind the fridge.
We had a problem with ours staying gas lit, in our old MH, so one afternoon after pulling in to a campsite, I found what I needed on board for running an outlet back there.
Later on, I devise a plug and play auto circuit for automatically switching it between shore power and the inverter.
