Generation X
Folks,
As some may know, rodents ate my Onan QG 4000, onboard generator last year.
The cost of repair thru Onan was almost the cost of a new generator. (Heck, they charged $600, just to diagnose the issue.) Therefore, I decided to go new.
The problem is, the generator compartment is open to the road. Therefore, there is nothing to prevent this situation from repeating. So, I’ve, decided to purchase a replacement, but I’d prefer a portable.
The RV is a Holiday Rambler, Augusta, B+. It has dual, roof A/C units. But, only one runs at any time. We never dry camp. In fact we’ve never gone anywhere that shore electric wasn’t available. I don’t foresee needing a generator to run the RV long term. Our previous rig was a Itasca, Suncruiser. The only time the generator was run in ten years was a weekly function check.
Can anyone tell me what size portable generator would serve us in an emergency?
Best,
Jack
