generac generator running but no power.
Quoted locally $7,800.00 for an Onan generator replacement.
Shopped online and found an onan 7000 gas
Cummins Onan QG 7000 Gasoline RV Generator
for $4,400.00 free shipping no tax.

man those things are SUPER heavy and I
wish I brought friends to pick it up... had to put on side and
slide into my Element.
Paid $700.00 to put in and have new support built
for it that is more heavy duty.
Thought great... nope mechanic said one battery won't hold a charge and I should consider replacing the other...
so two new batteries installed.
3rd Camping trip, thinking all bugs ironed out.
I decided to run the generator and power the AC unit as was hot and humid .... turned the generator on and it is purring like a kitten... turned the AC on... ran kind of cool for 20 minutes on automatic setting (as someone on here suggested) it shut off and a pool of water came down..
SERIOUSLY ????
now no airconditioning... ARGH...
then it started raining and noticed pool of water forming near the front on the floor.... OMG.... turns out a corner bracket is missing (fell off ??) and water was coming in the "slide out's" corner that was open and exposed. So filled that with cocking...now trying to figure out where to buy a new corner bracket adn if there is a special way to attach it when I do...or should I just bring to a dealer... hmmm Anyone know what that little plastic "L" corner piece is called ??
I also notice that my hot water heater light is not glowing when
I push that.... hmmm what next...no hot water ???
Sad thing is I only bought this as was $40,000.00 less than what i had seen anywhere else and this made it affordible for me to buy...
But now with all these repairs... well i'm getting tapped out and not having any fun at all.
I read on here all the repairs and maintanence people all do themselves...wow I'm so impressed.
