I need help with a peculiar problem. Last night we were dry camping and had the fridge running off propane. Since we wanted to watch TV and run the fireplace, I lit off the generator. It started and seemed to run fine so I switched the fridge to electric. The furnace however would not light. When I shut down the generator and lit off the furnace, it worked fine and we had heat through the night. So for a while last night, I ran the generator and watched TV with the fireplace going, but no heat from the furnace. After a couple of hours, the generator shut itself down. When I restarted the generator, it would only run for a few minutes, then shut itself down again. We went to bed with the furnace running running on battery with no problems. This morning, we shut off the furnace, lit off the generator and the fireplace and made coffee with the electric coffeemaker. The generator again ran for a while but then shut itself down.
Any ideas on what might be happening?
