Default Re: PowerTech Generator Problem

My on board Oean generator quit while my son had our motorhome down at the Tn outdoor concert a few weeks back, lucky I had extended coverage so I paid only $100 to get it repaired. The outtside temp was up in the 90Fs and he used it for 3.5 days straight without a break running about 40 gallons of petrol through it before it quit. I think part of the problem was outside temperature and he did not think to open the access door to give it more air for cooling. The dealer replaced two belts and the fly wheel and belt tensioner all of which ate themselves. Lesson learned, don't use the generator 24x7 without checking it. It was his first time out so he gets this one as a pass! Anyone else have similar experience?
