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....

Glad you checked it out I did not know either and I'm a retired construction electrician. We always called them "wire nuts". There are a lot of different makes of them.
It's a good practice to tug on each wire, after installing a wire nut to be sure all the wires are caught/holding in the wire nut.
I was working on a job once making joints/connecting on #12 stranded wire. I had made all the joints in a box and was pushing the wires into the box so I could put the cover on, and a wire came out of a wire nut. I thought that I must of not check that one. I fixed that one then went on to the next box, made all the joints in that box, and made sure that I pulled each one in that box, they were good. But when I pushed the wires into the box another joint fell apart. I found out that the wire nuts that I was using were the poorest ones that I had ever used and they were NOT holding the wires like they should.
