    Any updates on this?

    Today I ran the genset a few minutes then turned one A/C on and then most lights. Turned the fridge on for a few minutes then shut it off. Genset shut of on it's own after about 45 minutes, and yes I noticed the flashing Iights this time�� 3 blinks - pause- 6 blinks (36) manual states something about the fuel pickup. Camper is in the yard and fairly level. Taking to dealer tomorrow for safety inspection and minor warranty issues. Will probably have to leave it. Keep you posted!

    Finally picked up 29G from dealer, ran gen for 1.5 hours with 1 a/c running and some lights, no issues.

    I have also had same problems with my onan 5500. I have three a/c units and it will easily run 2 at a time. The gen is rated at 45 amps. My first issue was that the dealer gave me an extra battery and hooked the generator up to the second battery. Gen would run until the battery ran down and then shut off. Found out that the gen does not have a charging circuit so battery was running down and gen would stop for lack of 12v power. Solved with connecting two batteries together so it would get charged. Second issue was with the 36 code. Drove me crazy. The stock gen fuel pump is mounted on the gen and pulls fuel from the tank to the gen (a long ways). Pumps are meant to push not pull. My gen was starving for fuel. I installed another pump near gen with same results. Finally put the pump back by the fuel tank and problem was solved. Had to run the power wire back to it but am relieved that the thing now works as intended.
