Hello! We're getting ready to hit the road with our new-to-us '95 Winnebago this spring. The 30' 1995 Winnebago Adventurer came with solar power setup, consisting of 4 100W solar panels and a PWM controller. I was wondering, would it be worth it to u...
Hello! Our 1995 30' Winnebago Adventurer doesn't have any stabilizing jacks, which looking through the forum, seems to be a rarity in Class A motorhomes. We don't quite have the money to get a fancy hydraulic system, and I wasn't sure how stable thos...
Hello! I'm looking at getting something to keep the engine battery charged, since apparently the older RV's like mine (30' 1995 Winnebago Adventurer with a Chevy engine) have a drain on them. I found this, which seems like it might do the "trick" (lo...
Hello! Thanks for all of your input; reading through these forums helps a lot. We got a '95 Winnebago Adventurer that already had a 400W system installed - 4 100W panels wired up to a PWM controller wired up to a bank of two batteries. First of all, ...
Hello again! Man, I've been running down one problem after the next on this old generator we have. I finally got it running after a no-start and then a broken fuel line. Still need to fix the muffler. But now this:I got the generator running and hook...
Cool, thanks, everyone! That definitely helps, I'll start looking at those tomorrow. I thought I posted the model, but I guess not. darsben1 got me, though, Thanks! It's a Onan Emerald Plus 4000 (GBE-k).
Thanks, everyone! I think it was the battery. I plugged the RV into shore power, and was able to get it to turn over. A second problem was that it wasn't getting fuel - I found a break in one of the fuel lines, and that fixed the problem. It's runnin...
I just replaced the starter battery. I'm thinking that's the battery that starts the generator, too? Or am I wrong on that?I'll try the connections next. I haven't tested the voltage at the starter yet.
Well, from what I was told (which, of course, I can't validate), car makers don't do it because it takes more power from the alternator to run it than what it puts in, making it ineffective. However, if we hook our solar energy up to it, then it's no...
