What is a generator stator?
The generator stator, also called the armature, supports the iron core and windings, the rotor, and the compartment coolers reference Figure 6 and 7. The stator consists of a steel plate casing called the “wrapper” that covers a frame that in turn holds the iron core.
What kind of generator does a Winnebago use?
Onan Generators used by Winnebago and Itasca range from a 2.5KW LP in the Winnebago ERA to a 10,000 watt Onan Quiet Diesel in the flagship Tour and Ellipse. Also available on select Winnebago and Itasca products is the Cummins Onan Energy Command Panel. This features the following benefits:
Are there any problems with the Onan Winnebago Generator?
Onan’s engineering is nowhere near what it should be. Circuit boards are open to the elements. Connectors are open to the elements. Wires are free to chafe and burn through. They could have done a much better job. Beware if you are looking at a Winnebago be sure to carefully check the generator and the way it is mounted!

Is there a problem with my Winnie generator?
The generator on my 1997 Winnie, a Onan Emerald Plus 5000, was producing power. I checked the connections at the generator’s circuit breakers. There was no power at the transfer switch. The power leaves the generator via some 12 gauge stranded aluminum wire.
Where does the air go in a Winnebago?
A cut in the tray allows air to flow in from the front of the motorhome. This was a HUGE mistake. In front of the cut-out are the right rear duals. On the road, in the rain and snow and salt spray enters the compartment and soaks everything. The spray enters the area where the brushes press on the stator.
