Generator Care

A generator is an electro-mechanical device, and as such, it needs to be used regularly, as they can fail for just lack of use.

RV's typically spend a great deal of time idle. Sometimes they are parked somewhere for weeks or months at a time. Many RV owners don't even start their vehicles regularly, let alone the generator. Often we don't even think of the generator until the time to use it has arrived.

It is a mistake to treat generators this way. A generator that stays idle for a long time, is an easy target for insects, rodends, or other small animals. They like to nest, procreate, and chew on the wiring of these machines. Moisture, rust, and lack of lubrication can also disable an otherwise healthy unit. Lubrication happens automatically when the machine is being used. Otherwise moving parts just lay there rusting away. The moment you call the machine for duty, it breaks.

We recommend that you start and run your generator once every two weeks, or at least once a month. This single act can add many years of trouble free life to your generator. Following this advise can save your money and help you avoid moments of discomfort and stress.

Troubleshooting of RV generator to determine condition and location of damage to mechanical components or electrical circuits. During troubleshooting, the technician isolates the area that has the potential fault, and performs tests and takes measurements to determine the condition of existing parts, circuits, or systems.

Minor adjustments and calibration may take place while troubleshooting and this may solve the problem. If the technician determines that additional repairs are necessary, he will make such recommendations, and the office will issue a quote for any such repairs. No repair or part replacement will take place without prior written approval from the customer.

Typical Generator Failures

A large quantity of Rv generator failures could be related to lack of proper maintenance and care. These units can be asked to work for days or weeks at time, and often we forget that they too need adjustment and maintenance. As a good rule of thumb, a typical Rv generator needs maintenance every 100 hours of use.

It is recommended that generators receive a complete tune-up every 500 hours of service.

Other than these basic reasons for failure, the main culprit for break down is the fuel system. Fuel pressure due to pump failure, or regulator malfunction are typical causes for broken generators.

Starter and starter solenoid malfunctions are often the case for needing repairs as well.
