1:00pm Onan propane generator trouble shooting & repair Gary Whistler one of our esteemed seminar presenters, he has had an ongoing lovehate relationship with his propane Onan generator this past year. It will idle all day long with no issues and run with a load (A/C running) for about 30/40 minutes then the gen/set struggles and slowly shuts down. Mikee is pretty sure what s at the bottom of this problem as he experienced the same thing with his gen/set. We will get dirty as this is a hand on repair and a very good possibility we will have to remove the gen/set out of the R/V generator compartment. 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm Hot dog roast over an open fire Please join us at the fire pit behind the Campground pavilion and have some fun cooking your own wieners.
