RV Generator Maintenance That Keeps You Running
RV generator maintenance in Jensen Beach is one of the most overlooked services we offer, and one of the most important. Your generator is what keeps the AC running when you're boondocking, powers your fridge when you're off-grid, and gives you electricity during power outages. According to Cummins Onan, roughly 70% of generator failures could be prevented with regular maintenance. That's a number worth paying attention to.
Scott Marlins has maintained over 350 RV generators since 2016. We service Onan, Generac, Champion, Honda, Westinghouse, and other major brands. Gas and diesel models. The work itself isn't glamorous: oil changes, filter replacements, spark plug swaps, fuel system cleaning. But skipping it is how a $3,000 generator ends up needing a $1,500 carburetor overhaul or a full replacement.
Florida's climate is especially hard on generators. High humidity promotes corrosion on electrical connections and internal components. The heat means your generator works harder to power the AC, which accelerates wear. And if your RV sits in storage for months between trips, stale fuel is the number one killer of generators we see. About 40% of the generator calls we get involve fuel system problems caused by gas that sat too long without stabilizer.
When's the last time you changed the oil in your generator? If it's been more than 150 hours or more than a year, it's due. Call us and we'll come to you.

RV Generator Maintenance Questions
How much does RV generator maintenance cost in Jensen Beach?
Oil changes run $85 to $150, tune-ups cost $150 to $300, and seasonal maintenance packages range from $175 to $350. We provide a free estimate before any work begins, so you'll know exactly what to expect.
How often should I service my RV generator?
Most manufacturers recommend service every 150 to 200 hours of run time, or once a year at minimum. If you're running it heavily for AC during Florida summers, more frequent oil changes are a smart investment.
Why won't my RV generator start?
The most common causes are stale fuel, a gummed-up carburetor, a dead starting battery, a failed fuel pump, or low oil triggering the safety shutoff. We'll figure out the exact cause at your location and give you options.
Can you service my generator at the campground?
That's exactly what we do. We're fully mobile and bring oil, filters, parts, and tools to wherever your RV is parked. Campgrounds, RV parks, driveways, storage lots. Anywhere in Jensen Beach and Martin County.
What generator brands do you service?
We work on Onan (Cummins Onan), Generac, Champion, Westinghouse, Honda, and other major brands. Gas and diesel models. If it's in an RV, there's a good chance we've serviced that exact model before.
Should I run my generator during storage?
Yes. Run it for at least 30 minutes every month with a load on it. This keeps fuel circulating, lubricates internal parts, and prevents the carburetor from gumming up. It's one of the simplest things you can do to avoid expensive repairs.
How long does RV generator maintenance take?
An oil change takes about 30 to 45 minutes. A full tune-up runs 1 to 2 hours. Seasonal maintenance packages that include oil, filters, spark plugs, and load testing typically take 2 to 3 hours.
Can old fuel damage my RV generator?
Yes, and it's the most common problem we see. Gasoline starts breaking down after about 30 days and gums up carburetors and fuel lines. Always use fuel stabilizer if your generator will sit for more than a month.
