As an add on to this post and another, sometimes there are zebras! Last night we stopped to eat at Railroad Pass outside of Vegas. We left generator on and a light on inside coach. When we got back generator had died. Started it up and it ran for a short time then died. "dirty fuel filter" I exclaimed. We ran into Kingman with no generator. Got to TA at 1 am. They did not have filter but could change it in an hr if I had one. Could not find my spare. Dry camped at TA. Called Speedco at 7 am. They are changing out filter vendors & did not have that one in stock yet. Called NAPA they had 4 in stock. I bought 3. Went back to coach & slid out generator to change filters. What a surprise! The v-belt had broken. I grabbed my trusty spare belt, wrong size. I had gotten spare for Dayton blower. Searched around & found generator spare I had intended to put on last year. Didn't change last year because I did not want to slide radiator forward to make the repair. Also found my spare fuel filter. Now I have 4 spares and put them all in filter storage area. Had I taken the time to make sure it was horse hoofs instead of zebras, (slide generator out & look before going for parts) I would have saved some time & cash. It is also nice to know that high temp safety shut off is working! I did change the v-belt btw.
