48 hours on genny. Electrical shorted now.
Dealer installed the onan 5500 into my trailer. This weekend it was running fine. Turned it off without any issue, had been running coffee machine. Later in the evening went to fire it back up....

Neutral's were not connected fully inside the wire nut. That led to the arcing and the heat. If the neutral becomes disconnected, you will have no power continuous to the RV's load center. Probably no damage to the gen set because no power is flowing through the bad connection.
This /\. Anyone that's done electrical on residential housing has seen this a time or two in a junction box or in a main circuit breaker. Poor workmanship, not enough stripped wire on both neutrals, and both of them not completely twisted together tight enough before the wire nut goes on.
Good wirenut jobs should never require electrical tape.
