I just got this trailer, its a196 sundowner with an onan generator, propane. They cranked it for me at the dealers and it was fine. I decided to try it today, about a month later, and I am older and get fowled up sometimes. I pressed the left side of the starter just like the fella did at the dealer, it will try to crank but wont
Well I realized over night that i hadn't turned on the propane. Turned it on and it still wouldn't crank. Hopeing its something simple, can anybody help me please?

I finally figured it out. The propane tank was not hooked up to the generator. The general was put in the trailer and a tank mounted to the front of the trailer. When i moved that tank and hooked it up, it fired right up. Have learned a lot about these living quarter trailers.
