Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

onan generator


Having a problem with my onan 4000 ky generator. It will crank but will not start. If I push the prime side of the start switch I do not get the clicking noise I did before. Unit does not seem to be getting fuel.  Has anyone had this problem? Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions on my problem with the generator. I was finally able to get it into a shop to be checked out. We were at various locations that we did not need the the unit since we had elecrtric hook up ( except at Point Lookout State park in Maryland where it was 90 degrees and a transformer in the park burnt out -- electric was only off for about 3 hours).

The tech checked out the Onan and found the positive wire to the electric fuel pump had been chewed by a mouse right up next to the pump.  He thought it looked like an old chew that finally snapped off. He called tech service and they recommended to replace the pump since there was no wire to splice.  The new pump in on the way.

The last two years I have put 5 electronic mouse chasers in the motorhome in the winter. I thought they has been working OK-- guess not.  Look for plan "B".

Again thanks fot the help. I learn alot on the forum.

Bud
