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.

2005 class A Damon Astoria motorhome with 7500 watt Generac generator. Was using generator when traveling on road, used it for microwave and no problems. After shutting it off, tried using it again and won’t turnover. Later I heard clicking noises near fuse box or converter, not sure where. I reset breaker on generator even though it didn’t trip to see it would work but no change. I have a converter, I don’t have an inverter. Not sure if the fuse is blown, I will check. Any other ideas? Tim

Yeah, I am not going back to that location, they were installing a different type of toilet for me or I would have used my local rv mechanic. Thank you!

I have it scheduled to have it looked at and have the burner serviced. I looked at it myself in the spring and cleaned the igniter.

I have not had the burner serviced. I wasn’t sure at the time if it wasn’t working on electric or propane and told them to look at it assuming they would check both but they only checked when plugged in and said everything was working fine.

Motorhome Refrigerator doesn’t work when on propane , it’s set on auto. Works fine when plugged in. Propane tank is full. Propane switch is on. Had camping world look at it and they couldn’t find anything wrong but only checked it when plugged in. Any suggestions as to why is won’t work on propane? Thank you!

Thank you I will give it a try.

I replaced the generator voltage regulator and it’s acting up again. I can run 1 A/C unit at a time, microwave comes on but won’t warm food. Only getting 80 volts to coach. Repair shop thinks it’s a bad regulator that I put in, I bought it new from Generac. Any idea’s? I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks. Tim

Had a technician come to Campground he discovered the power switch at the door needed replaced. Thank you for your suggestions.

Surge shows on and at power pole ok. Generator puts out power. Did not check at receptacles, will check tonight. Not sure on battery voltage. Still need to test transfer switch. Thanks

No power when generator is running
