Onan Generator 5500 Gold Fuel Pum
$900 for a Onan 5500 Marques Gold generator fuel pump installed in a 2007 motorhome, is this reasonable? This is at a Cummins dealer/shop, they diagnosed the problem as well.

I would like to ask all of you that have performed your own maintenance ... how in the world do you access the parts? My genset does not slide out and there is only about 2.5 inches from the top of the compartment to the top of the genset. I can feel the sparkplug in the inside but no way I could change it out let alone the fuel pump.
My Onan 7000 doesn't slide out either and it's completely covered by an insulated steel shroud: I can't get at anything.
I raise the motorhome using the left-side jacks, block the frame (safety first!), put my 3-ton floor jack under the center of the generator base, remove the 4 mounting bolts and lower the generator onto a furniture dolly. With the left-side of the motorhome raised I can just roll the generator out from underneath.
I lift the generator using a 'cherry-picker' and set it on sturdy saw-horses. At that point I've got clear access to all sides and the unit sits at a comfortable level, makes maintenance a breeze.
