If it is a diesel, I assume that it runs off the fuel in your "gas" tank. Usually there is a level of fuel in the tank that a generator will not run when below that level. Sometimes a 1/4 tank, sometimes more or less. Make sure your tank is past a half full. Onan generators also will not run if the generator's oil level is low. Check that if there is sufficient fuel in your tank.
I have 13.65V at the leads going in to the generator when the truck is idling, and 12.8 or so when the truck is off suggesting that all is well with power getting to the generator. Good voltages across the inverter and converter as well.
Think I will fill up the coach with diesel to rule out the low fuel "shut-off" theory. The gauge does read 1/2 tank, but I am running out of other ideas. Has anyone on here had the experience of this "shut-off" keeping them from starting their genny? I guess I have ruled this out because of the hum that I get. Sounds like a dead battery and not something that would "by design."
