Seven months ago I purchased a low milage 2005 Winnebago 36' Journey.
It came with a Onan 7.5 diesel generator.
This is my first Diesel powered MH and noticed the diesel generator takes 30-45 seconds longer than a gas generator on the first start of the day, probably due to glow plugs.
It starts every time but the issue is that it may run for several minutes or sometimes an hour and then shuts itself off.
It always re starts immediately and it does not seem to care if it has a load or if the outside temperature is cold or hot.
The fluid levels are in the normal range.
I live 3 hours from the nearest Onan service center and would like to see if this forum has any ideas before I make an appointment.
Thanks
