The state of New Jersey, like most areas of the country, offers some great outdoor weather to enjoy year round. For those with campers, having an on-board generator provides the option to have electrical power for all the conveniences of home.
On-board generators are common in food trucks, work vehicles and in other types of situations where there is the need for electrical power in remote locations. By having the generator well-maintained throughout the year, it is always ready to use and operating efficiently to provide electricity.
Frequency of Use
Just like vehicle serve and repair, generator repair and maintenance services should be done on a schedule based on how often and how much the generator is used. It is only logical that a generator on a food truck running every day for several hours is going to require more frequent maintenance services than an on-board generator in an RV that is used a few weekends or for short holidays over the summer months.
Most generators have a clock built into the system. The manual for the generator provides the manufacturer’s recommendations for routine service. It is also a good idea to have the generator serviced before the first use each year, particularly if it has been sitting over the winter months.
If you live in New Jersey, calling a company for mobile generator repair and maintenance makes things a lot easier. There is no need to drive the food truck, work truck or RV into a garage, simply have the maintenance and repair professional come to you. This is also a great time to get the vehicle maintenance completed, ensuring everything is in top condition.
What to Consider
Failing to maintain the generator repair and maintenance schedule is more likely to result in the generator failing to start when needed. It can also significantly shorten the life cycle of the system, creating the need to replace the generator in a much shorter period of time.
