PowerTech Generator failure on 2008 TourMaster
We have a 2008 TourMaster 40A and had a generator failure on May 31. Failure ocurred while gen running in our driveway with 2 roof a/c units on. Over the last two weeks while camping at Holland State Park in Holland, MI I took TM in to Holland Motorhomes (authorized PowerTech repair facility) for diagnosis. After several hours it was determined the problem was iternal which would require removal of gen from TM. Went back last week to have gen removed. Technician was hopeful that it would be a brush problem. Received a call this afternoon from Service Mgr at Holland Motorhomes, based on various tests and consultation with PowerTech it has been determined that rotor is shorted to ground. This means replacement of rotor/stator assembly, voltage regulator and two circuit breakers. Estimated tab is going to be around $2500. Of course the warranty ran out April 24!
My question to you all is--Has anyone else experienced such a PowerTech failure or do you know of anyone that has? By the way gen has 255.7 hours.
Thanks for any input you may have
John
