Hey all,just wanted to post an update. As for the generator issue, I found that the 2 breakers on the generator itself were off and as soon as I reset them it fired up and stayed on when I turned the main engine off..thanks again

I do not see a way to add photos to a post unless it is posted to a pictures site. I use this one setup for RV.NET. http://photoposting.is-great.net/?i=1 . It will work with any place you want to post a picture.

we have a Gulfstream Independence 6319 on a C5500 chassis with the 8.1 gas engine. sometimes when we are on the house batteries overnight the generator will not start in the morning when we want to start the a/c. if we start the motorhome the generator will start off the chassis battery and the engine running, we then shut off the motorhome and everything is fine and the generator recharges the house batteries whilre running the a/c. in my mind this probably means the house batteries are growing weak and should be replaced but we most likely will not do that until they won't run the ceiling fans, fridge, etc. overnight at the race track.

Thanks for the great info everyone. I got this back in June and I haven't been able to afford new house batteries so I've been putting off troubleshooting it ,instead just using the generator and it's worked great up until now, so I guess it's time to make it a priority, I'll post what I ultimately find out thanks again!

Not sure how your generator is hooked up. My Endura was hooked to the house batteries. It would start every time without chassis engine running. I remember there was problem with connection at generator. Also check connections at the batteries. Are your house batteries reading enough voltage. My generator would not start if voltage was below 12 volts. Found this out when setting auto start voltage.

Unfortunately never has since I've had it. It was my impression that the engine had to be running to get enough power to turn the generator over.

Will the generator start by itself? It sounds like it could be a simple loose connection. Will it start if you push the start switch at the generator.?
