Foretravel Technical Q&A
Section: Generator General
Q: I just bought a 1985 foretravel motorhome and lost the exterior generator door bringing it to it's new home. How do I get a replacement for it?
A: You will need to contact our parts department for availability of the generator door. 800-955-6226 Ext.154,161,172 or 173.
Q: How long should the generator run to charge my batteries?
A: Generator run time will depend on battery state of charge. When dry camping, it may be necessary to run the generator up to 6 hours per day. If your Foretravel is equipped with a generator auto start feature and the generator has started automatically, it will run for 4 hours or until the batteries attain a voltage of 13.8 VDC, or which ever occurs first.
Q: Can I run the generator while I’m driving?
A: Yes, you may run your generator while you are traveling down the road in order to run roof airs or other 110vac components.
Q: At what fuel level will my generator shut off due to low fuel?
A: The fuel pick up for the generator is designed so it will run out of fuel prior to pulling enough fuel out of the tank as not to allow the main engine to run out of fuel. The generator will run out of fuel at approximately 1/4 thru 3/8 of a tank of fuel in the main tank. If you generator runs out of fuel you must find the nearest fuel station as soon as possible.
