I had RV generator serviced in January. Oil, all filters and spark plug. DO not really use it much but every week I start the generator to exercise it. Once it runs for a while, I put it under a load for about 20 minutes by turning on the AC units.  Depending on outside temperature one or both units go on and off automatically.

Today, I ran the generator for about 10 minutes, while under a load generator stopped running. RV has full tank of gas , Turned everything to off generator will crank but not start. I finally ran the batteries down. Now I need to charge it.

SO does anyone have any idea of things I can try before taking to the RV dealer and end up with a huge service bill? Been there done that on other items I could not fix.  I am not a mechanic but am somewhat handy with tools. Almost sounds like it is not getting gas or maybe a sensor shutting it down?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated and Thank You!
