Hi Alain,
Sorry to hear about the issue with your generator. Running the motorhome off a portable generator is possible, but you might need to make some adjustments. Firstly, ensure that the generator you're using has enough wattage to power your motorhome's electrical systems. Additionally, check if there are any compatibility issues between the generator and your motorhome's electrical system. If you're having trouble getting power into the coach when using the Yamaha 2000watt generator, double-check the connections and ensure they are secure, and verify if there's a switch that needs to be turned on for the power to flow. If the problem persists, consult the manuals or seek professional assistance to diagnose the issue with your setup. Best of luck with your motocross race!z
