If you have less than 1/4 tank of fuel the generator will shut down, also
if the road is rough that bouncing will cause float to bounce.


I agree that a bouncing carburetor float could be a problem.

Heat is also a factor, we tried running the generator to run the A/C in
Arizona in the heat (104 degrees) and the generator shut down. This was
in a 2015 Thor Hurricane 34E gas class A MH.


I am not sure where the Hurricane generator is placed, but it's at the rear on the Windsport where it won't be affected by engine heat.
