That sucks.
Shit happens! That's why you have insurance! Call them and don't worry about the manufacturer!
Eclipse doesnt make generators fyi......
I've had nothing but great dealings with Eclipse.
Eclipse Trailers are Entry Level at Best. They Suck. They Cut Corners Every Chance They Get. Cheesy Trailers
The Old Saying You Get What You Pay For is True, Sorry Man.
So Call your Insurance up File a Claim and they Might Total it Out. Thats About a 6g Job. Theres a few Places Around Riverside area to get Quotes from. Good Luck To Ya.
that sucks!!
I hope you list some insulation too....cause it doesn't look like there is any!
at least it isn't raining!
120mph Towing + 50Mph Head wind. Its Not The Junk Trailer Builder Eclipse after all Its Your Lead Foot. Lol.
Chill out! Most of us work hard for our money and I have seen a friends motorhome side fall off, I have seen trailer skins worse than yours, and that is why you call your insurance company! They will go after the manufacturer if it was a defect! So shit does happen and you need to be prepared! Just in the world we live in this is not the worse problem I have seen and yes you buy the bottom end, our close to it, you might get this result? Good luck and insurance rocks sometimes! BTW I have seen Onan and Kolhar gens in for repairs! Did you read what it had in it when you bought it?
I know B, The generator MFG name is "Generac" but i guess with a name like that you shouldnt expect much. I was just venting my frustration on the quality, or lack therof, with the parts and materials used on Eclipse trailers.
The Decision to install a piece of Shit Generator (Generic) Generac Hehehe. Just shows you the Company Mentality From the Leadership Down to the Illegal Immigrant That Fired The 1'' Woodscrew in at an angle Thru your window Vallance to Hold it on The Wall. They Are Just Awesome Trailers. Hehehe. Sorry Man.
My POS Generac just clicked 900 trouble free hours on the meter at the last LOORRS race, wish I would have known it was such a piece of crap before I bought it....in 2000.
While the Generac is more on the Industrial side of the on board generator spectrum 100% of the problems I’ve seen... make that 99%, are a direct cause of leaving modern pump gas in the carb over an extended period of time. It gums up, plugs jets, stick the fuel shut off valve, doesn’t start, or surges then dies after start up and immediately it’s called a POS.
Drain the carb (yes there is a screw on the float bowl to do this) of all remaining gas prior to putting it in storage and/or run Sta-Bil fuel preservative or something like that and most of your troubles will be no trouble at all.
The other 1% was a guy in our camp waaay over filled his gen with oil, it pumped the excess out the breather and caught it on fire...pretty exciting.
As for Eclipse, when they announced their new line on RF some time ago I stated that since we tow our trailer to the races so much why (any of) the manufacturers couldnt do something to reduce the weight and make them a little more areodynamic? You should have seen the PM that charecter sent me, the (deleted) me out....man it was funny. I wonder if I still have it?
Ive ran stabil from day one, and ive started the gen at least once a month to keep the fluids moving. Also it runs on the same fuel as my fuel station, so it gets turned over every so often...
Well, then you know what they say....if it has boobs or wheels you're going to have trouble with it.
Sorry you got a bad one.

Who comes up with these cool "sayings"? I like this one...
Sorry to hear about your trailer. The hassle alone, getting it fixed, coordinating insurance,.....crap, who has time for this! Take a deep breath and just get yourself through this.

Thanks I appreciate it, and yes it's much more than just let insurance handle it. Every shop within an hour is at least three weeks out before they can touch it... So yeah, there goes summer.
