Generator operation

Yahoo Message Number: 88153
I have a 2005 Magna #6492 with an Onan 12.5KW generator. Yesterday I had a mobile detailer wash the coach. He pressure washed the generator and the engine compartment as part of his "deluxe" service. Since that time, the generator keeps coming on even though the house and start batteries all show a full charge. Most times the generator starts, it "bumps" several times before acutally starting. Once started, it puts out 120V on both legs and will continue to run until shut off manually. We are plugged into a strong 50AMP RV post at The Vineyards park in Grapevine, TX.
If anyone else has experienced a similar problem or has ideas as to cause and fix, please reply. I would also appreciate a referral to a CCoach qualified mobile service in the Dallas/Ft Worth area.

The most likely thing is at the plug at the generator. The one that connects the remote start, etc between the coach and generator. It probably got moisture in it from the wash.
Separate the connector blow it out spray with wd40 or the like blow it out again and reconnect.
