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!!
We recently purchased a smarter tools 2000w generator from Costco (Yamaha motor). When we plug it into the trailer it will not run on the "smart idle" position and overloads even when we have nothing running in the trailer.
When taken off the "smart idle" it revs really high and seems to work very hard even when nothing is running in the trailer. I have gone through the breakers switching them on and off while the generator is going and it seems to make no difference in how hard the generator works.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why the generator has to work so hard?
did somebody modify or make one of the jumpers or change a plug?
have you load tested the generator with an electric heater or blow dryer with the coach not plugged in .....does the generator respond correctly while under the load test....2000 watts only gives you a safe 15 amps
if your main is off at the panel there should be no load.....if there is you could have a wiring problem from the shore cord in
