Common Questions About RV Generator Service
We will changeout the existing generator for exact same model.
All major brands and models, including Cummins Onan, the most common RV generator on the road. Our technicians are factory certified across the major manufacturers.
Our repair team is mobile. We service RVs at campgrounds, storage lots, and residences throughout Horry County and northern Georgetown County.
RV generators are rated by run hours rather than calendar time, so it depends on use. A coach that runs its generator most weekends needs service more often than one used twice a year. Oil and filter intervals are specified by the manufacturer, and long idle periods between trips create their own problems — which is usually what we're called out for.
Usually fuel. Gasoline and diesel both degrade in storage, and stale fuel is the most common reason a generator that worked in October won't start in April. Carburetor deposits and a discharged starting battery are the other two frequent causes.
The engine and the alternator are separate systems — one can run fine while the other fails. It's typically a transfer or breaker issue, a failed alternator component, or a control board fault. It's diagnosable, and worth looking at before a trip rather than during one.
Depends on the unit's rating and the number of AC units in the coach. Most factory-installed RV generators are sized for one AC plus household loads. If yours is struggling to carry the AC it used to handle, that's a symptom worth diagnosing rather than working around.
Contact us with your generator's make, model, and approximate age and we'll tell you what's covered and what we can do.
