SWharton Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 We are now getting into AC season and wanted to make sure the generator would switch over automatically if we lose power when we are away. We have a couple of cats. The test worked, gen switched fine but what surprised us was that once the power was put back on the gen turned off by itself. We had read(maybe a bad interpretation on our part) that we had to turn the gen off manually. Nice surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two Onan equipped motorhomes that we had didn't have that auto-start feature. Does it unload the 120V system before it transfers? I would assume that it takes a brief time of no 120V to make the shift? Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

SWharton Posted April 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 We don't know at this point. I was coming into the MH to turn off the generator when the generator turned off by itself. We are in a CG and were doing a test so I don't want to play with it again to keep peace with the neighbors. Next time we will pay a bit more attention to what is going on.

the ol farm boy Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Does anyone have any great ideas about installing two Honda 2200 generators in my truck bed and use with my 5th wheel. Can they run in the rain? thanks, The ole farm boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
