Re: Generators for 5er
I have the Onan 5500 that was factory installed with a 10 gallon gasoline tank built in also. I don't think RV manufacturers offer the gasoline option now but not sure. I do know my gas 5500 works great, runs both a/c's and everything else I use at the same time and runs a bit north of 20 hours on 10 gallons depending load. 11 years full time use, 650 hrs on the Onan and not looking back. I do use non-ethanol gas and still put stabilizer in every tank plus running the generator every month for 1 hour under load.507Views0likes0CommentsRe: Jayco Charger Converter
My 2010 Designer 35RLTS has a Progressive Dynamics Model PD9280A. The original one died a couple of years ago after 8 years full time service. The replacement with the same model number is a couple of inches shorter so one new mounting hole was needed, but otherwise was a direct replacement. Problem solved.269Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Roof installed - RV Armor should I get it

You just got a new roof, no reason to put another new roof on top of it right now. My initial OEM roof membrane started failing at 5 years of age and it had been cleaned and inspected every six months since new. If I was buying another rubber roof I would have Flex Armor installed before I ever used it. Worrying about leaking caulking and reapplying just isn't worth it to me. That hairline crack can destroy a rig and by the time you notice it the damage is done.645Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Roof installed - RV Armor should I get it

I should have done it when the rig was brand new rather than waited. During the past 6 years the Flex Armor roof has has withstood numerous weather issues from hail to a 6" oak limb falling on it and no damage from anything so far. And zero caulking to monitor or reapply. My wash/wax guy just washes the roof off with some Dawn and a soft brush during each wash/wax. Fantastic product.646Views0likes0CommentsRe: Can I run my Onan while plugged into shore power?
I always shut my shore power breaker off before a generator run as well as turn off all big load items such as electric water heater or a/c's. I also run my generator the first of every month for 1 hour with a load. Works for me 11 years full timer.1KViews0likes0Comments
