Hello All,
In 5 days we are going on our first big trip in our new to us 96 Beaver Patriot Savanah. For two months I've been going through everything and doing maintenance. My wife has been practicing driving every weekend during these weeks and everything has been working great. Yesterday, My wife and I took it on a little 60 mile trip, for her last practice session, getting some last minute items, fueling it up, filling the LP tank, etc. Our Onan 6500 LP just started acting up. The generator was running for about two hours and then it started to cough and sputter here and there. Then it just died. I restarted it and it ran for a minute or so and died. I got on the net and found it may be the oil level. I'm ashamed to admit I was so focused on the drive train, suspension, and coach, I over looked at the generator. It was low on oil, so I topped it off. It started and ran for five minutes and died. I learned over filling it prevents it from running as well, so this morning, I took some more out. It ran for 40min and died. This afternoon I took a little more out and tried to start it and it just turns over and over. Tomorrow I will be calling some repair shops, but I'm not confident I will be able to get an appointment within our 5 day window. So, if any body has some advice, or information, I'm all ears. Thanks for your time.
