Onan fuel pump is noisy
Just bought a 1999 36 ft Holiday Rambler with 18,000 miles. The generator stop working the 1st day I brought it home. The Onan 5000 was not getting any gas. The coach tank was at 40% and I am not sure if it shuts down with that much fuel left? Seems like it should shut down closer to 1/4 of a tank? I did get the generator going after filling the tank. I by passed the starter with a hot wire and let the pump run for a long time. I held my finger over the gas line and the pump made an awful knocking sound. The generator now starts right up and runs under all loads but the fuel pump is still very loud even after 30 minutes of running. I am just wondering if I should change the pump or this is normal.

Sounds like we better start looking around for the right combo. Scott, the stacker trailer did cross my mind but that's a huge commitment. My wife and I are really excited to make this happen. Smitty,setting up the garage/Man cave trailer is pretty strait forward. Buy a loaded race trailer they have about everything inside you can imagine. Finding the right coach will take some time. We will be buying everything used including another sports car. Our current sports car is 80% track car 20% street car that wont work for a daily driver. Budget is $150k (MH 100k)(trailer 10k)(Used Porsche 30k)(10k misc)543Views0likes0CommentsRe: 40 Ft. Motor home with 22ft. trailer (Camp Rules)
I really appreciate everyone's advice. It definitely sounds workable. I had no idea the big rig book exists. One thing we are even considering is a smaller MH something around 35 ft. I could work with a 20ft trailer if I had to.543Views0likes0Comments40 Ft. Motor home with 22ft. trailer (Camp Rules)
Hello and brand new to forum, my wife and I are considering a large class A with 10k tow capacity to tow a 20 to 22 ft. enclosed car trailer. The trailer will have an air conditioner and will be my garage/man cave. When staying in a park, I will always need a pull though and will be staying in most parks over 30 days. I would prefer to keep the trailer hooked up to the MH and use the man cave trailer to putter around watch TV or even make quite adjustments to my sports car. How hard will it be to find a long term stay with this size of rig always coupled together and will most parks frown on this set up because I am running some electricity to the garage trailer? Will they look at this as two RV. Units? I know I will have to make some amperage adjustments like not running three AC units and other appliances. The trailer will be paint matched and the RV. will be around 8 years old. Thanks RH3.5KViews0likes20Comments
