Onan generator stacey gaskins 6-9-08  
I have 4kW onan generator in my 21' rallye motorhome. Had it out last weekend and the kids were watching tv with the generator running. My wife and i were at the table playin g cards and had the table lamp on, the light was surging bright to dim, and i could hear a faint clicking sound up in the panel where the generator start button is. the light bulb got so hot it melted a small hole in the cover. I shut the generator off, and then the 12v lights didn't work anymore. I checked all the fuses, and after a few minutes all the 12v system worked again. The next day i ran the gen for microwave and the same problem after i shut the gen off no 12v for a few minutes. Can anyone tell me what my trouble might be?
