Any genset similar to Emerald III?

Hi all,
I recently bought a 1990 Fleetwood Pace Arrow very cheap and I'm slowly fixing it up. It came without a generator, and I'm on the hunt for an Emerald III because that's what it came with. But are their other make and model generators that are similar? The Emerald III is 6.5 and is only about 15" tall and the compartment in my coach won't accomodate anything taller. I'll keep looking until I can find an acceptable deal on one because I'm told these are really good generators, but if there is an adequate substitute, at least I'd have more options. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot,
Scott
  • The Emerald 3 is an old unit Prices for parts are high and hard to get.
    I have one in my Monaco that is LP. Carb was 380.00. I would look for newer unit

    Does it have to be Emerald III? I have an Emerald I that is 4.0 KW that I've been trying to replace with something smaller. If you are serious about this you can look at it. . . I noticed you are located in the area.

  • Scott,

    Start by working with the RV scrap yards. There are lots of low hour units out there. Also work Craig's list and Ebay.
