general onan generarator question.
I'm about to service my generator for the first time. Oil filter, spark plugs, air filter, oil change. Are these items usually able to be found at auto parts stores. Or is there another place to get onan service parts? Mine is an 09 propane gen.1.5KViews0likes6Commentsneed help finding these shade anchors.
I went to camping world and all they seemed to have was the barrel part of the anchor and not the flat part. I'm looking for both parts. Anyone know where I can get these online? I can't seem to find both parts. IMG_20170109_093447 by Dom, on Flickr1.8KViews0likes8CommentsRe: rv camping in Canada, different than camping in the US?

Thanks, that's good info.128Views0likes0Commentsrv camping in Canada, different than camping in the US?
I know this is a really broad question...but I'll ask it anyways...How does rv camping in Canada differ from the US? We've camped all over the U.S. and expect most campgrounds in Florida to be pretty full in May and for the most part reservations are needed in the more popular campgrounds. Canada has so much smaller of a population I'm wondering if we can head off and a long trip and not book everything in advance. Or is Canada full of Americans in the summer and are there a lot less campgrounds because the population is so much less.... Like I said I know this if a really broad question and like asking someone whats America like...but I really know nothing about Canada other than what I'm starting to read in guidebooks.

But leave a four foot pig tail and put on a standard male three prong 30 amp RV plug. Then install a female plug on the remaining cord. DavidP wrote: You may want to consider installing an inlet and using a detachable cord. I'm in the keys and there are no rv shops. My choices are west marine, Kmart, and home depot. I checked out a true value and the only plug they had was really cheap and not meant for outdoors. Which store do you think I'll have the best luck at. I'm on bicycle so I'm trying not to ride all around the island.361Views0likes0CommentsRe: Replacing 30amp male plug

This allows you to carry a spare in the event one is damaged. I'm not sure what an inlet is. It sounds like a good idea to have a plug that can be replaced.361Views0likes0CommentsReplacing 30amp male plug
The male end of my 30amp plug is kinda Burnt from being plugged into a 110 extension. It looks like replacing the male end of cord is pretty straight forward. Any precautions I should take first? I'm wondering is there any stored power I need to be aware of when I open the plug.3.2KViews0likes28Comments
