Generator Replacement
Has anyone replaced their 5.5KW Generac Generator with a cheap aftermarket unit? The space is limited on some National coaches, like mine, they don't make the Generac for it anymore and an Onan won't ...

If you can wait to perform the repair, I would remove it and bring the stator and rotor to a motor rewind shop. Usually they can be repaired or rewound for a fraction of the cost of a new one or even new parts. I had an Onan rotor repaired for $40 after an incident with mice and the replacement was around $900 online. Maybe use a portable generator in the meantime. Good luck.

Motor rewind shop is what I had in mind also, if indeed where the problem lies.
If not cost effective, though, I keep wondering if someone might have installed as large as a 4kw gen set in this small of a space and will check it out, once I see a camping world. In fact I remember a long tread dealing with Chinese gen sets, but can't find it now.
Meanwhile, we're heading north for now, so maybe better with the heat and considering that we don't travel more than 100 - 200 miles a day.
Thanks to each and everyone for the feedback so far.
