Fancyface Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 2011 Monaco knight onan 10000 generator starts fine runs a while then shuts off randomly. When I go to start it again it has ZERO power to the switch including the switch on the generator itself. Any help is highly appreciated!!

Wrknrvr Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 (edited) This first thing is do you have a volt meter? Next when was the last time the battery terminals were cleaned? A picture of the battery terminals before cleaning would help. Let’s start there. That generator does not make 12vdc. So there is a voltage problem in the power supply line? When hot it quits. After it cools down, it works again? Edited May 1 by Wrknrvr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyface Posted May 2 Author Report Share Posted May 2 We just got home from another camping trip a couple days ago and we tried to our generator there and it wouldn’t run or start. It didn’t have any power to it. Therefore we cannot even get an error code from it. We brought her home and unloaded and cleaned it all up. We again try to start the generator at the actual generator switch and there’s nothing. It won’t prime. It doesn’t click. There’s nothing happening! We haven’t owned this motorhome very long and my husband is having a lot of stress. We took our motorhome to camping world and asked them to go through everything, make sure it works Yadda yadda and that has been another horrible experience. They have honestly proven to be the last place I’d go to with ANY issues. I’d rather chew off my arm lol! Any help or ideas is appreciated greatly!

Did you measure with a volt/ohm meter and found 0V? Tell as more about the generator, as in what make and model is it? We need more information to be of much help. 38 minutes ago, Fancyface said: We took our motorhome to camping world and asked them to go through everything, I wish that you had come here before you did that. There are some very good RV techs around but very few of them work at CW. In general, you usually get better service from an RV shop or mobil service that only does service work and has no sales department. Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......
