On our 06 Outlook, the generator is an Onan 4000 KY......, Which I think was pretty much Winnebago's standard for c-class of that vintage.
What's happening to cut the generator off? Generator still runs, but trips the breaker ON THE GENERATOR! Maybe just a weak breaker on the generator. On mine, the breaker started tripping on a heavier load and finally could not be reset, the breaker handle just flips from side to side, no tension. The generator runs fine but no power because of the breaker.
For 12+ years, the Onan would run everything in the coach. Then the A/C started tripping the generator breaker.
The Air Conditioning unit still works great on shore power, kept my interior at 70F this past July (90-100F), no shade.
