Cummins / Onan 2800 Microlite change
Just wondering if anyone knows when Cummins quit making the 2800 KV Microlite units used in most class B motor homes. I recently tried to purchase a new one, and they have now been replaced with a 2.8...

I'd love to know _why_ they changed the whole layout. Seems quite idiotic. This appears to make it very nearly, if not at all, non-useable as a replacement for the old gas & LP Microlites, of which there must be 1000's slowly wearing out.
Guess I'll be going the 2kW Honda route when my Onan expires. Mount it on the rear bumper, jury-rig an extension on the rip-start to place it inside under the rear window, and extend the start-stop wiring. Should be do-able & a little quieter, and with my small 9K A/C, probably adequate. Only real headache will be carrying extra fuel. At least I'll gain an outside storage compartment.
