Need 8000 generator

I need a complete 7500/8000 generator for my motorhome. I think it had an Onan 8000 quiet diesel.

My question is, are there any other options or brands that work well?

I had found some cleaned up ones for $6,00 to $6,500 but for that price just as soon by a new one but those are running around $10,000 with shipping and everything. Saw a few used ones for $3,000 but they went real quick.

Anyone know where a good used one is at reasonable price?

  • You could also try Visone.RV in Tennessee.

    They had quite a few Onan generators, some with low hours, a few months ago.
  • Yes, I do prefer to replace it with same as it had in there originally if possible. But would consider other options if needed.
  • I clicked on the Az salvage and their 8000's look real clean
  • I saw one at Arizona RV Salvage the other day when I was there for another part. Don't know what they want for it but it's worth a call IMO. Close enough to you to get a UHaul trailer and pick it up if it's cheap enough....Good luck Dennis

    I'd replace with the same if it was me, as ours has a lot of interface to the inside controls and such, as yours probably does.
    By the way, having your coach particulars in your signature or other, will always get you more pertinent answers.
