Onan Microquiet 4000 Generator - 1999 Tioga
Onan Microquiet 4000 Generator will only start and run continuously with coach vehicle running. Shouldn't I be able to start the generator from the coach batteries or when connected to 120v shoreline?...

Well, I have to apologize...I did not get the much needed battery for my voltmeter and did not check the 2 house batteries today.
I appreciate your post Jim. Question regarding your question:
I am connected to 120 right now. Should I unplug that and connect the C's power cord back into the "rig" before trying to start the generator?
Also, when I do not start the motorhome and try to start the generator from within the coach using the switch at the control panel, it just dims/flickers all the lights in the trailer and makes a slight humming noise but does not actually start. - (Keep in mind, I am still connected to 120V)
