Generators - brand differences?
OK, our search for a used Class A is becoming narrower each day. After driving all over, I think that there are two fairly close to us that fit our needs and budget: The leader is: 2007 Damon Day...

Both ONAN and Generac are good brands.. Now ONAN Is perhaps the more common generator in the RV world. and Generac in the non-mobile world, but the fact is both are top rated and I'd have no qualms about either in either service.
I do have one suggestion: If your RV is a 50 amp, install at least one TT-30 outlet.. This should be enough (I put in two, and a twist lock)
RV generators may be 120 volt only... (my ONAN is) but I put one on each leg. This means that I can daisy feed an RV on either side of me (Done it a few times) but due to one more outlet I was also able to daisy feed my house
on the house I put in a proper INLET (30 amp) and a Proper Generator transfer panel.
Plugged the custom made extension cord into house, uncoiled as i walked to RV, plugged in, "installed" the Gen-Turi (Well put it on, the Install had been done earlier) pushed the buttons in the approve patteren, waited in the RV for the transfer switch to do it's clunk.. then to the basement and the transfer panel
Click: Lights
Click: Heat (it was after all 12/31/2005)
Click click and a bunch more clicks
More lights, computer and modem, TV and Radio, Microwave, Fride, Freezer and more.
The mods and cord and power panel.. Well they totaled (along with some other improvements) about a thousand dollars
Warm wife... Priceless.
