Title: Needed Generator Work In Quartzsite
Post by: luvrbus on December 29, 2016, 07:51:55 AM
Is there a good generator repair person in Quartzsite,I have 3600 LP Onan I need help with it only has 536 hrs sometimes it runs for weeks with no problem next time it will start and run for a few minutes and quit.
The local RV repair here charges a $150.00 per hr which I don't mind if he knew what the hell he was doing I have already paid him $500.00 bucks for nothing it seems since he wants more $$$ I am taking it some where else

Hi Clifford, my propane generator on the MCI5A, was a Yamaha, no one in LV would repair it, because it was propane, ended up going to the Yamaha motorcycle dealer, they ordered the parts and did a good job, tom...

Generator Bob 623-224-7655. He rents space at quality rv (the big yellow building) clifford what's the name of the guy that's been working on it? There are a few guys in town here that you want to stay clear of.

Also I remember YEARS ago when I was a child dad had our class C worked on in Tuscan at an Onan dealer that was very good! I don't remember any details as it was over 35 yrs ago.

Cliford :Check your hoses that were supplied with the unit.Some of the older models had problems with the hoses breaking down on their diesel models.Don't know if this also apples to propane or not.
