Installed in Airstream Intersatate. A year ago, while under warranty, the generator died while running and powering the AC on a hot day. It restarted but would not continue running unless the starter button was continually depressed. (In that condition it does not generate electricity.) Cummins Onan fixed it but did not explain to the RV dealer the cause of the problem or what was done to fix it.
It was working fine on a recent trip until one morning when the same problem reoccurred. It started but stopped running as soon as the starter button was disengaged. Unable to obtain assistance from either the Airstream RV dealer or the Cummins Onan dealers in Knoxville we went to campgrounds with shore power. A day or two later we tested the generator. It started and it worked properly. It also worked on subsequent tests.
The only difference between the evening it worked and the next morning when it didn't was a rainfall over night.
One additional odd issue that may or many not have any relevance. I usually have the control switch for the power source set on AUTOMATIC. On one occasion while plugged into shore power the control unit indicated that it was under a HEAVY LOAD. I moved the switch to LINE POWER and the HEAVY LOAD indicator went off. Everything worked so i switched it back to AUTOMATIC and it continued to work.
