Generator dies while driving

Generator runs great while parked, can go a couple days with zero issues, doesn't die. Here on the last two trips it dies while on the road.
I can't be sure yet how long in to the trip it dies, just know that when I stop it is not running.

Any ideas? Anyone seen this issue?

Could b a number of things
Coach Gas tank below 1/4 tank will cut off Generator
Low oil, generator will shut off with oil (wrong or low)
lose connections at the battery cables
Clogged Onan Fuel Filter
Fuel Pump fighting for gas and its causing a vapor lock
Heat was from the unit was the problem and not being vented correct

Do you have error codes on the generator?
