When I removed the line going to the carb and turned on the pump nothing happened. I inserted a small line from the fuel filter into a can of gasoline nothing happened.
I replaced both. I dismantled both the filter and the pump looking for reasons why it may have bin gummed up or whatever and saw nothing.
The 12 volt fuel pump is interesting inside, a cylinder that hammers back and forth drawing fuel. It all looked good. My guess is the seals/rubber inside the pump didn't allow vacuum to happen. but then again....like the little woman says to me....what do you know :B

Yeah. Whadda you know, man?

And to address your question about the fuel filter, I think Onan deleted the fuel filters at some point because they caused more problems than they solved. Does this ring a bell to anyone?

So....my thoughts about the pump, why would the pump run continuously and not pick up fuel either from the supply line or a fuel container I had nearby.
next day I prime it, it runs 5 seconds off the main fuel line which is at least 25 feet starts and runs fine.

It will cost you nothing to level the trailer.
What is "not far off"? When dealing with liquid spread out over an oil pan maybe 12" x 12" not far off can make a difference. If it is 1 inch off over the 8 feet it will be 1/8" difference from one side to the other on a 12" oil pan. Are there any blinking lights on the generator panel when you try to start it? 2 blinks indicate low oil on many Onans.

Could it be a venting problem? Try cracking your gas cap while it runs under a load.
