Fulltime for over 12 years, (stateside & overseas) we settled in a stk&brk for 9 years. Sold the home in 2019, Purchased a motorhome, traveled a few thousand miles and have now settled in an Escapees Park in Nevada. By mid February we will be have our own lot in a win-win-situation as lease owners. Other then purchasing a small travel trailer in the near future, we no longer have an interest in full time living on the road. 

Fired up the Onan genset this morning to charge batteries. Control panel (Charge, Inverter, etc) showed status as usual. Several minutes later the genny stumbled as under load and the Control panel went dead.  A few seconds later it came back on, several minutes later gen stumbles and panel goes dead again.  This happened a few times but has not happened in over an hour. Thoughts? 

Thanks

Hi all

Not at all familiar with the Diesel fired Hurricane heating system.  All seems to work when switched on, no codes off circuit board. Although, it takes a several minutes before any heat comes from the vents.  Is this normal for those that are familiar with this system. 

Thanks

Another solo traveler here.  In my opinion, $2K is easy to meet with some left over if you camp host or workamp at least part of the year.  The biggest line item in my budget is nightly camping fees, but they fall to a big fat zero when working at the campground.  This also works well for someone who likes to stay a couple of months at a spot then move along.  Another benefit is you get to really know the campground and the area where you are working and you will have time and opportunities to forge new friendships.  Right now I am averaging 7 months workamping and the rest traveling between jobs or just traveling for the heck of it.  It's a great life--have fun with your plans!

We started full timing in 1999 with a few thousand in the bank and NO INCOME! Between Workamping and me doing 95% of mechanical repairs, our road reign lasted 12 years until we settled and purchased a home.  Fast forward 8 years.  Just sold our home and awaiting delivery of our new to us 39' Motor-home.  We're back on the road full-time with our combined SS just over $2,200. a month. Between boondocking in Quartzsite and picking up an occasional Workamping gig, all will be fine.  Do it while you can.
