Runs better than new with the propane conversion kit installed. A little tricky to try and adjust the load block on the regulator and control the A/C from under the coach, but with the help of my boss, got it done. Had to extend the 1/2" gas line from the fridge to the generator but it was a straight shot. While under there I found the gen mounting bracket sticking out into the exhaust pipe hole in the case. Most likely the source of the banging I would hear on occasions when starting. Other Trend owners have reported the same noise.
Fuel pump is inhibited, disconnected the 12 volts, and the gas fuel line now has a valve to shut it off.
Two other Trend owners have reported the same issue with there 2800s, one bought the $600 carb, the other pulled his off and has good luck with cleaning it, worked fine when reinstalled. All have been following the manual as I have. Since the Trend is part cabin part touring van we all are getting 12 months a year usage except a couple in PA.
We'll see over time if the LP works out better than gas. Onan needs to work on a better carb. If Honda gets in the RV market...
