Wound up with a flooded bathroom due to the toilet bowl overflowing. Fortunately it was fresh water and not the black water. Turns out the water was intermittently flowing without the flush being activated. Just a brief spurt, but with nowhere else t...
I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I am at a loss. My Champion 3100 immediately overloads when the a/c is turned on. The a/c unit is 13.5K BTU, so the gen should handle it. My older gen has a higher capacity. It would start up the compre...
Planning a short trip up to Yellowstone (only 3hrs from home). I was looking at Baker's Hole, a Forest Service campground just north of West Yellowstone. It is 1st come 1st serve, so I was wondering how difficult it is to find a spot there. I will b...

UPDATE #2 - I installed the hard start cap (SPP6) yesterday. Switched on the a/c and the gen overloaded again. I tried switching off all other breakers, but no luck. I connected to house power just to see if I shorted something on the roof, and the a...
Took a look inside my a/c unit. Looks like a snap to install a hard start cap, so that's what I'll do.Now for some humor. I contacted a local RV dealership and laid out the problem. Their "solution" was to get a bigger generator. When I asked about...
