Make sure either genny runs extensively under significant load, I wouldn't make our final decision on 10 year old rigs solely based on the brand of onboard generator. For the record, our Onan 4000 genny has been a real workhorse over the last decade with zero issues in over 1K hours of heavy demand usage. Just oil changes and a couple of air filters is all I have invested thus far. Still has the original fuel filter and all we use is the cheapest gas we can find as with all of our vehicles. With the age of those rigs, I'd be more leary of the Generac with such low hours as that can be a detriment to their ability to provide reliable service over the long haul. Our Onan loves nothing more than to perform it's duty powering our entire rig as if plugged into shorepower, and has done so no matter if it's over 100 degrees or with temps in the single digits.
