Dealership vs. Mobile Generator Repair

The practical difference is where the work happens and how long your RV is out of service. A traditional Cummins or RV dealership works on the generator in their bay, which means the coach has to get there and stay there. We work on it where the coach already is.

Taking the RV to a dealership

  • You drive or tow the RV to the service center.
  • The coach is typically left on site during diagnosis.
  • Appointments can sometimes involve days or weeks of waiting for a bay or for parts.
  • Travel or camping plans often have to be rearranged.
  • Diagnostic and labor rates are billed at dealership levels without the convenience of on-site service.

Calling No Worries RV

  • We come to your driveway, storage lot, or campsite.
  • The RV stays where it is — no towing and no drop-off.
  • Diagnosis happens on the spot, and most field-serviceable repairs are completed in the same visit when parts and access allow.
  • Your travel plans usually stay intact.
  • Repair costs may be comparable depending on the issue — the time and hassle saved is the difference.

Dealership wait times and pricing vary widely by location and season; we do not claim every dealership is the same. What we can say is that our service happens where your RV is parked. See our service-call pricing before you book.

Cummins Onan Models We Service

Our customer service offering is intentionally focused on the common gasoline Onan 4000, 5500, and 7000 units found in motorhomes and travel trailers.

Cummins Onan

Onan is one of the most common generators installed in motorhomes and travel trailers, and it is the generator work we focus on. We service Cummins Onan 4000, 5500, and 7000 gasoline generators. We are an independent mobile service company, not an authorized Cummins dealer.

Cummins Onan Generator Repair

Most of the Tampa Bay calls we take are Onan units that will not start, start and shut down, surge, or drop output under load. On site we work through fuel delivery, ignition or injection, the start circuit and battery, the control board and sensors, and the generator's electrical output — then repair what the testing points to.

How to Read a Cummins Onan Fault Code

  1. When the generator shuts down, the indicator light on the start/stop switch may flash.
  2. The first flashing sequence usually represents the first digit.
  3. A pause separates the first and second digits.
  4. The second flashing sequence represents the second digit.
  5. For example, three flashes, a pause, and then six flashes may indicate fault code 36.
  6. On some models, pressing the stop or prime side of the switch can retrieve the stored fault code.
  7. The exact retrieval method varies by generator model, so check your owner's manual for your specific unit.

The code is a starting point for diagnosis. It points at a circuit or a condition — it does not always identify the failed part by itself.

Common Cummins Onan Diagnostic Codes

The table below covers codes commonly published for Onan RV generator controllers. Definitions can differ between carbureted, EFI, and different controller systems, so always confirm the code against the service manual for your exact model.

Common Cummins Onan RV generator fault codes and their general meanings
CodeGeneral meaning
Code 12Overvoltage — output voltage above the controller's limit
Code 13Undervoltage — output voltage below the controller's limit
Code 14Overfrequency — engine/alternator frequency above limit
Code 15Underfrequency — engine/alternator frequency below limit
Code 22Governor actuator overload (governed models)
Code 27Voltage-sense fault in the control circuit
Code 31Overspeed — engine speed above the allowed limit
Code 32Low cranking speed / slow crank
Code 33High engine temperature shutdown
Code 35Control-card (controller) failure
Code 36Engine stopped without an operator stop command
Code 37Invalid generator configuration in the controller
Code 38Field overload on the generator excitation circuit
Code 41Generator rotor fault
Code 42Processor fault
Code 43Processor or control fault
Code 45Speed-sense fault
Code 47Ignition fault (spark-ignited models)
Code 51Engine overload
Code 54MAT (manifold air temperature) sensor fault
Code 58Exhaust-gas temperature fault

Fault codes help narrow down the problem, but proper diagnosis may still require testing fuel pressure, ignition, electrical output, engine speed, sensors, wiring, and generator components. For the most common one, see our guide to Onan fault code 36.

What Happens During a Generator Diagnostic

1. We confirm the symptom

Your technician calls before departure to get the make, model, symptom, and any flashing fault code, plus where the RV is parked.

2. On-site testing

We verify the start circuit and battery, fuel delivery, ignition or injection, engine speed, sensors and wiring, and measure the generator's electrical output under load.

3. Findings and repair

You get a plain-English explanation of what failed and what it takes to fix it. Field-serviceable repairs are completed in the visit when parts and access allow; anything needing ordered parts is scheduled for a return trip.

Due for maintenance? We also handle annual RV generator service — model-specific oil, filters, spark plugs and a load check — often on the same visit — and the rest of our mobile RV services. See service-call pricing or browse the cities we service around Tampa.

Generator past saving? We also sell refurbished Onan 5500 and 7000 RV generators from $4,999 — refurbished with new fuel pump, carb or EFI fuel components, new control board and filters, load-tested, 90-day warranty, and installed at your RV starting at $530.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you repair RV generators at my location?

Yes. We are a mobile RV service company. We diagnose and repair the generator where your RV is parked — your driveway, a storage lot, or a campsite — whenever the job can reasonably be completed in the field. Some repairs, such as major engine internal work or a full generator replacement, may need additional parts, lead time, or a shop environment.

How far do you travel for RV generator repair?

We cover roughly a 50-mile radius of Tampa, including Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando, Polk, Manatee and Sarasota counties.

What does a mobile RV generator service call cost?

The Mobile Generator Service Call is a $475 minimum. It includes dispatch to your RV within our 50-mile Tampa service area and up to the first hour of on-site diagnostic/repair labor. A 3.5% card convenience fee applies. Additional labor, parts, or repairs are quoted separately before any additional work is performed.

Is mobile repair cheaper than a dealership?

Repair costs may be comparable depending on the issue and the parts required. What mobile service reliably saves you is the towing, the drop-off, and the wait — dealership appointments can sometimes involve days or weeks of waiting.

Do you service Cummins Onan generators?

We focus on the most common Cummins Onan gasoline RV generators: the 4000, 5500, and 7000 families. We are an independent mobile service company and not an authorized Cummins dealer. Service availability can depend on the generator model, installation, parts availability, and condition.

My generator is flashing a code. Can you tell me the problem over the phone?

A fault code is a helpful starting point and we are happy to talk it through, but the code narrows the area of the fault rather than naming the failed part. Proper diagnosis usually requires on-site testing.

Do you offer annual generator maintenance?

Yes. Service is model-specific: the Onan 4000 receives engine oil and one spark plug and has no oil filter; the Onan 5500 and 7000 receive engine oil, an oil filter, and two spark plugs. Applicable air and fuel filters, a load check, and a full operational inspection are included.

Do you sell refurbished RV generators if mine can't be repaired?

Yes. We sell refurbished Onan 5500 and Onan 7000 RV generators, EFI and carbureted, from $4,999 — each with a new fuel pump, new carburetor or refreshed EFI fuel components, a new control board, all new filters, a full load test, and a 90-day No Worries RV warranty. We remove your old unit and install the refurbished one at your RV, with install starting at $530.
