I went to the storage yard today in order to checkup and exercise my GMC. Coach fired up no problem after giving it it's mandatory dozen pumps on the gas pedal.
When I fired up the Onan from with the remote start switch everything seemed to start up just fine. .....well, almost. Heard some additional racket (other than normal) going on in the area of the Onan compartment. Sounded very similar to a cooling fan banging around a fan housing. I then tried to shut it down remotely but when it almost was dead and I released the button from the off position, it would start right back up. Ran outside and hit the off button on the Onan itself and the same thing happened. Pulled the spark plug leads and the Onan shut down but it continued to try and start back up. Disconnected the 12 pin plug with no effect. I summarized that the Onan starter had been possessed or something. I ended up disconnecting the rear battery and things finally went quiet. That cable was HOT!
After a bit, I reconnected everything in an attempt to recreate the event. Onan started right up with no additional noise and shut down normally with the remote and local switch.
Anybody else have this happen?

I had that problem and it was the control board. I've since ditched the old Onan, but I vagely remeber that the start solenoid on the control board can stick and cause that.
