Fifth Wheels with an onaboard Onan

The reason we went with a Montana High Country was because it was the only one in our price point that came with a gen prep option for the Onan. Grand Design Reflection, Jayco Eagle etc. did not, not even as an option. I think all the "higher end" ones do though... Montana, Solitude, Redwood. But sub-60k, Montana HC was it from what I could find. We had the generator installed ourselves after purchase from an authorized Cummins dealer/installer, it was a little cheaper than having the dealer do it.

We came from a toyhauler with the on-board gas Onan as well. This new one is propane, and honestly I liked the gas one better. It seemed more efficient. We're actually buying a 4500 portable generator for use when it's colder, because the onboard uses up a lot of propane.

I have a 5500 Onan that was factory installed and it is gas. I like it a lot. Right now I'm using it to provide power since the entire town is dark after the storm passage a couple of hours ago. I find it a lot easier to fill a gas tank than a propane tank and the gas tank lasts a lot longer. I use non-ethanol gas in my rig and keep stabilizer in the fuel year round. I also run the generator 1 hour under load the first of every month. So far it hasn't failed me. Today's run will take the place of the normal run on the first of the month obviously. 2 hrs running as of right now and I would expect 6-8 hrs more to go. Lots of lines and trees down.
