Not sure what happened but the power went out at the park I am staying at. I figured no problem, I will start my generator. My rig I have to plug in the power cord into the generator and start the generator and should have power. Nothing. I was wondering how you can check to see if the generator is putting out anything or if you need to call a mechanic. I have not had a good experience with the last generator mechanic. I wanted him to check out my unit and service it. He found my problem the generator would not start the batteries were dead. But did not service my generator because he said it was not worth his time and effort, but still charged me
