An Onan code 36 reports that the generator "stopped without a shutdown command from the control panel". This is sort of a catchall but most problems are fuel related, that is not enough fuel is getting to the engine.

Things to check:
Is the RV fuel tank low? The gen set will not run when the fuel tank reaches 1/8 (1/4??) tank of fuel remaining to avoid running the tank dry out in the boondocks.
Is the fuel filter clean?
Fuel Pump putting out enough fuel?

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Code 36 - Engine Stopped
That is without command by you. You could be out of fuel or you have a low LPG pressure issue, or your spark plug leads may be loose, or you have bad spark plugs. Finally, you may have to clean or replace the air cleaner or check for some other mechanical failure.
