Ummm . .. "s'cuse me, but as dumb as Dave is, I saw no indication he
was running a portable in an enclosure.  I _think_ the model he is
complaining about is an rv genset designed specically to run in a
(ventilated) compartment.  See

Not withstanding the moron you are posting to, motorhomes with installed
generators are designed to run with the doors shut.  It's kind of hard to
drive down the road with an access door flapping in the breeze.

'You will find out how silly it is when you have to buy another
generator because you burned up this one by running it behind an access
door.

He's a troll, Janet.  He doesn't even own an RV.  

'If you are the second owner, the generator isn't "brand new".

REPLY:  Well then...its 'new' , as in approx. 3 hours of runtime between
myself and the original owner.


'Janet, scratching her head wondering how a 2008 model RV can already be
on its "second owner"'

REPLY:  The original owner had it 3 months and used it 3 times. He
confided in me that his marriage is now ending, and he bought the RV in
hopes of saving his marriage (somehow).  He is also selling his other
Toys including a nice 1987 Corvette Convertible.  I got his 2008 Class
C. RV at $8,000 less than what he paid for it which was $14,000 less
than the MSRP of it. ANd it only has 2200 miles on it.   So, if i end up
having to replace the Generator (because Onan doesnt have confidence
enough in their products to transfer the warranty to the second owner
for the remainder of One year), then, im still ahead of the game.

Hugh, he's a frigging troll.  He lives in a cardboard box molests
children.  He doesn't even own a RV.  

'I don't know where you're coming from with this. Direct from Cummins
Onan website comes this;
<http://www.cumminsonan.com/rv/support/warranty/>
"We are so confident in our Cummins Onan RV generators, we back them
with a 3-year limited warranty. The longest, most comprehensive warranty
in the business. And it's transferable from one owner to another if you
decide to sell your RV during the generator warranty period."
So what is it, are you just blowing smoke or are you fabricating stuff
to post. Smudging a reputable company with false tales may prompt action
from the company.

REPLY:  I just read  Onan Form AB-2012-02   dated 2/2003 , which came
with the submittal package from Coachmen , and it was not very clear .
However , upon rereading it , it appears that it IS transferrable to me
as the second owner for up to ONE year...and THREE years to the original
retail purchaser.   Ergo,  I do apologize for my oversight.  This is
good news to me as i can get it fixed at no charge.

'Dave,
        You have apparently been given bad information
by Camping World. The generator IS under warranty.
A brief summary of Onan's warranty policy for RV gensets is:
1. For the first two years or 2,000 hours, everything is covered except
normal maintenance items as long as the failure is not due to abuse or
neglect.
2. For the third year or 3,000 hours, although not everything is
covered, most major components are still covered.
3. Basic warranty coverage begins on date of original sale to end user,
and continues for the stated period REGARDLESS of how many owners
rv/genset may have during that period.
4. Extended warranty coverage can be purchased - at additional cost - to
extend warranty coverage to 5 years/5,000 hours. This extended warranty
coverage does not need to be purchased on original sale, but MUST be
purchased - if desired - within the first year genset is in service.
So - it makes no difference to Onan whether you're the second owner - or
the 20th owner - as long as the genset itself is within the warranty
period. And, if you purchased an extended warranty on it, THAT coverage
would stay with the genset even if you sold the rv a year or two from
now.
I would suggest taking the rv to a Cummins/Onan facility rather than
Camping World, given the level of expertise they've shown thus far....
Alan'

REPLY:  ALan, Thank you very much. Im going to run off a copy of your
reply here and give it to the Service Advisor at my local Camping World.
ANd ive located a Cummins/Onan facility about an hour away. Regards.
