RV Generator Service
in Austin

Won't start, won't hold load, surging, or overdue for service. A technician comes to wherever the rig is parked.

Onboard generators mostly fail from sitting, not from use. A generator that has not run in months is far more likely to give trouble than one that runs regularly under load.

Common problems

  • Cranks but will not start
  • Starts, then dies after a few seconds
  • Runs but will not carry a load, or drops out when the AC kicks in
  • Surging or hunting
  • Overdue routine service — oil, filters, plugs
  • Fault codes and auto-shutdowns

Fuel and sitting

Stale gasoline is the leading cause of no-start on gas generators. Ethanol-blended fuel left in a carburettor over an Austin summer varnishes it, and the fix is cleaning or replacing the carb rather than chasing ignition. Running the generator under load for half an hour a month prevents most of this.

Worth checking first

Confirm the fuel level. Most motorhomes stop feeding the generator at roughly a quarter tank so you cannot strand yourself — a "dead" generator with the gauge near a quarter is often just that.

Note: propane-fuelled generator work touches the LP system, which is separately licensed in Texas. We do not advertise or arrange propane system work.

How a mobile bill worksAsk these two things first
PartWhat it is
Service callA flat fee for coming out to you, charged once per visit — whether the job takes ten minutes or three hours
LaborHourly after that, usually with a one-hour minimum. Diagnosis is often folded into the first hour rather than billed separately
PartsSeparate. Either supplied by the technician or by you — ask which, because it changes who warranties the part
ExtrasAfter-hours and weekend call-outs cost more. Mileage may apply past a set radius. A return trip to fit an ordered part may mean a second service call
Ask for the service call fee and the hourly rate, in that order, before anything else. Those two numbers drive most of your bill. Rates vary with the job, the distance and the time of day — you'll get the actual figures confirmed before any work starts.
