I am on a trip and was running my roof air conditioner for several hours, everything was working fine then generator cut out. I have 3/4 of a tank of gas, oil level is full, and coolant is full. What could be causing it to stop working?

Thank you

Can you do damage to a motorhome using auto leveling, manual mode?

I spoke with the technician who is putting together new parts he said similar things about fragments. Thank you for your help. Tim

I was told both times that the compressor locked up and caused the belt to fail. It will be towed tomorrow to the repair shop but initial inspection indicates A/C compressor locked up. Thanks for your help.

I recently broke down for the second time due to faulty A/C compressor that locked up, which caused the serpentine belt to fail. The first time was September of 2022 which I wrote off as it being a 2005 Cummins engine in a diesel pusher that it was just worn out, I took it to a Cummins dealer and they replaced the compressor and belt. On my way home from a trip this week the same thing happened again. Seems to be too much of a coincidence? The 24 hours service technician that looked at it while broken down in a parking lot said it appears to just be a faulty part. I’m having it towed tomorrow to their shop for replacement. Any ideas what else may cause two A/C compressors to fail in such a short period? Tim

It turns out that all I needed was to reset the voltage regulator after I replaced it, it works fine now. Thanks for your advice. Tim

thank you

Thank you all for your advice, I will do some more investigation. Tim

Thank you

Thanks all

I have a 2005 Damon Astoria 38’ diesel pusher motorhome. It has a 300 Cummins engine that has been diagnosed with a turbocharger that had failed and the actuator will only open 64%, also the manifold gasket is leaking at the #6 cylinder. The Cummins dealer wants $11,000 to repair. The engine runs good pulls a motorcycle trailer with ease. Do I risk breaking down if I don’t get it fixed? Tim

Generac has no suggestions, tried Thor customer service, they gave me a number to contact but he is unable to help either. Still trying but running out of options.

Thanks WildBill! Sorry I stepped away for a few days. The voltage was at 12.7. I have tried with engine running, no difference. Checked all fluids, breakers. I will check ground connection. Another problem I have is no one wants to work on these Generac Motorhome Generators. I have a Generac dealer 2 miles from my house and they say that they stopped making the motorhome generator and don’t service them.

Thank you, yeah checked those right away, unfortunately it wasn’t either one.
