mradExplorer IIMay 03, 2021Can I run my Onan while plugged into shore power?My new to me 5th wheel has an Onan 5500 generator. Can I exercise the Onan while being plugged into shore power at home?
LwiddisExplorer IIMay 03, 2021It does help to move gasoline through a generator but a load on the generator is also necessary for true “exercise.”dedmistonModeratorMay 03, 2021Yes and no.You can run it, but it won't actually exercise it since there won't be any load.You're better off disconnecting from shore power first.
