RV Generator Repair & Service in Arcadia, CA
Your generator is the difference between boondocking comfortably and sweating through a summer night. It's also the appliance most likely to be neglected, because it only gets used a few weekends a year. The classic call: it cranked fine last season, and now it won't start or it quits as soon as the air conditioner kicks on.
400 N 1st Ave, Arcadia, CA 91006 Mon–Fri 8am–5pm
Symptoms we hear most
- Cranks but won't start, or starts and dies
- Surging, rough running, or heavy exhaust smoke
- Shuts down when the rooftop A/C or microwave loads it
- Low or no output at the outlets while the unit runs
- Hasn't been run or serviced in over a year
How we diagnose and repair it at the shop
- 1
Start with fuel, spark, and air
Most no-start generators come down to old fuel and a varnished carburetor, a clogged filter, or a weak start battery — we confirm the basics before going deeper.
- 2
Test under load
We run the unit with a real load, measure voltage and frequency, and check the transfer switch so we know whether the fault is the generator or the coach wiring downstream.
- 3
Service and repair
Oil and filter, plug, air and fuel filters, brushes and control board diagnosis as needed — plus a run-up before you leave.
