Hi guys, Sorry to change the subject but I think this is my best place to get help or advice for my problem.
I have the Champion 46515 RV ready 3500 W. I bought it specifically to save some hrs on the installed 5500 Onan. It seems like it runs great but it either just can't start the AC or sometimes it will but struggles.
I thought it would run one AC easily. I live in Colorado, and most of my camping trips are in the mountains, so I now realize that I'm losing power at 8 or 9000' elevation.
My questions are;
1- Would raising the RPM a little help? I have a Sendec hour meter/ tachometer on it.
2- Does any one have a link where I can buy a Hard Start assist like a Supco SPP6 or any known model that works well?
3- Possibly the most difficult question, Does any one know how/ or where to hook it up to a Carrier 13500 Air V AC with the remote control control pad?
I really appreciate your help. I really don't even need my little Champion if it can't run my AC
...........Since the Champion is significantly , smaller than the Onan , try switching the Fridge over too propane , and turn OFF most other appliances other than fans ! Mine works just fine with a 15k Btu. air unit !
..........Also , at 9,000 feet the air\fuel ratio is going too become very UNbalanced in favor of the gas so it will be running with Too much gas and NOT enough air , UNless you REJET the Carb ! , jf
