Just wanted to introduce myself and Shellback. I’m a retired Navy vet with a new (to me) 1978 GMC Royale rear bath (Shellback). The good news is she is almost all original. It has the original built in countertop blender, and it still works! This rig was built for entertaining, way ahead of its time. It also has a round, detachable, wired trouble light under the passenger side front access hood. I think its original? Very unique. I’m calling it the battle lantern (Navy term). It doesn't work, but I have plans to upgrade it later.
The bad news is it’s almost all original. So the battle lantern is the least of my worries. I was able to drive it home so no major mechanical issues at the moment. The fridge is DOA. No worries, I plan to replace it with a suitable apartment size fridge for now. It also has the original “buzz box” converter which I plan on replacing it right away.
My Question,
The original 6000 onan generator turns over but I don’t know if it starts. The previous owner said it works but it probably needs work. I can’t get it to slide out so I don’t want to try and start it without checking the oil and so-forth. It has two release latches that I am able to push and the latches release. It also has a release lever on the top right which I am able to pull to the right. But no matter how I try the gen will not budge! Am I missing something?
