BIG MISTAKE, when I got the coach back and started using the generator it would belch black smoke from the tailpipe and would run a couple of hours and then stall out. It would always restart but always continued to smoke from the tailpipe. I found that the tech at CW had overfilled the crankcase by about a half a quart. I drained out all the oil and refilled it to exactly a quart and a half and the condition has now been eliminated. so be careful when when changing your oil.
Good thing CW started and then checked level before releasing to you. NOT!
