My thoughts, for what they're worth...
1. I totally agree with the poster that called the Onans "Neanderthals". They =are=, and it still baffles me why they haven't started making inverter-type generators OR that Honda, Yamaha, Champion, etc. haven't started making Onan-style gen-packs.
2. I'd prefer gas over LP as we typically camp well over 5,000', usually around 7,000', and LP just poops out, BUT I do understand the overall convenience of LP. I don't have an issue with storing gas as Sta-Bil is my friend.
3. Not sure if the Onans have a remote start fob, but that would be useful for starting the genny and A/C before stopping to get the rig cooled down for the fur kids. With the slides in and both A/Cs running, bet it'd cool down PDQ.
4. Personally, I'd still favor a mounted portable on a rear rack.
