A good friend of mine has had two class C's with Onan generators over the past 15 years.
The current one is brand new, and you have to crank it for over a minute to get it to fire at all, then you have to restart it 2-3 times to get it to stay running. Dealer can't find anything wrong, gave up and says it's normal. Previous one was about 50/50 whether it would run at all.
Maybe you should explain to your good friend that these need fuel to start!
If the RV's propane system has sat unused for awhile it helps lot if the propane line is purged for example by letting "gas" flow out of the stove burner until it is combustible.
Just pushing the starter button, complaining and blaming Onan is another way of purging the line, but it may take bit longer time!
