jmypony@frontier.com Report post Posted September 23, 2010 Hi I have a '87 Southwind Eagle with an Onan 6.5 gen set. I need to exercise the gen set during the winter lay-up here in the Northwest (Seattle/Kirkland Wa). I've lost both of my roof airs due to nonuse and don't know what I can use to put enough load on the gen set before I lose it, too. We haven't used the mh at all for the last few years (just fixed and replaced a lot of stuff). I keep getting it ready to go, in spring, but it never seems to happen. I do need to take care of it. We have a boat also, which tends to get priority in the summer. Any ideas on exercising would be appreciated. Thanks.

Check out your 120 VAC breaker box to make sure you are not plugging all of them into the same circuit (which would trip that outlet breaker). If you have a microwave, may also be a good excuse to make some popcorn or a pie. The converter will also take some, as will the refrigerator on 120 VAC.
