    You might hit up Google and plug in Onan Microquiet 4000 in the video section. There are some good videos that might help you out. I found one that might help, click here

    Some of the generators go out through the door, but others drop down through the floor. As posted, you will need to disconnect the following prior to removal:

    1. Heavier battery start DC cables
    2. Lighter status and remote start cables
    3. Heavier AC output cables
    4. Fuel line from tank or fuel pump
    5. Exhaust header and muffler

    Brute strength and patience. I had a similar set up in my fist TH. Pulled it out twice. You should be able to pull the carb without removing the unit.
    Four bolts held it to the trailer frame. You will need to remove the 12v battery cables up front. Depending on the builder you either have a RV 30 amp plug, hardwire to a junction box on the frame or unit for the 120v side.
    I used a HD shop cart/warehouse cart to move mine around. A strong friend and a hand truck will work.
