Of the many components on a conversion, there are few items which are more integrally installed on a coach than the generator. Alas, however, the generator usually gets the last bit of attention from most of us; PDI and general maintenance.
But when we want it to work, it better.
Therein is the conflict.
The generator on a Prevost conversion can be anything between a 12.5 to 20Kw unit, usually powered by a Yanmar diesel engine. It uses the air system for the little airbags, powered off the main fuel tank, hooks into the transfer switch. It has a compact location on most coaches. In many cases, depending upon the conversion, may have a remote radiator, have a GENSET for automatic start, its own exhaust system and so on.
For coaches prior to 1992 (little known trivia item) the grounding systems in coaches is quite different than the post-1992 RVIA standard coaches. Upgrades must include a hardwired ground from the shore line to the transfer switch, main 100 panel AND generator.
So, there's a bit of general information to kick things off if you wish.
