🚐 Your RV generator should not be tested for the first time at the campsite.
If it has been sitting through the off-season, there is always a chance something has changed.
⛽ Old fuel can cause problems.
🔧 A dirty carb can affect how it runs.
🔋 A weak battery can make starting harder.
⚠️ Lack of use can create issues you will not notice until you need power.
Before camping season starts, fire it up in the driveway.
✅ Let it run.
👂 Listen for rough running.
🚨 Watch for slow starts.
🔍 Pay attention to anything that sounds off.
If it struggles at home, it probably will not get better once you are already set up at the campsite.
A quick test before the trip can save you a lot of frustration later.
