Generator ready - how much for 5.5 installed?

Seeing some new 5th wheel TH's that are generator ready so I assume everything is in place just need to install a 5.5 Onan. From your experiences what are talking about $$ to get one installed on a "ready" unit?

  • I am not sure what all they leave off when the say its gen ready. But at a show last year the Cummins/Onan salesman was offering a 5.5kw EVAP model for $4,500 installed. And a 4kw for $3,500 installed. I know he said that the tank was extra if they had to get one for it. On my parents "Gen Ready" Cameo, there really isn't anything ready but the floor is pre punched for the air vent for the generator. Everything else you would have to install - tank, fuel lines, transfer switch, gen, exhaust, etc.
  • Quick google finds several listings for about $3,900, but not sure how much to install it. A call to a dealer will give you some idea.

    Generator ready, like A/C ready, means different things to different builders. Don't assume everything is right there.
  • I don't know the answer.

    That's a weird option to leave undone. Most toy haulers come with the gen installed. It makes you wonder what else they left off.
