Onan Generator replacement

Here are a few I found in Google under "Motor Rewind Houston, TX." There are plenty more if none of these are close to you. I realize distance in CT is nothing like TX.

I had a rodent problem in my previous MOHO that damaged the rotor. I was doing the repair myself and Onan wanted $1800 just for the part. I found a shop that repaired the damage windings and applied a new (and better) conformal coating for $140. Some shops may not be interested in removing the genset from the rig, so if you are not up for doing that yourself perhaps you can work a deal with your normal service center for just the removal/reinstallation. Good luck.

The generator portion of your genset is just like a old electric motor. They have windings and armatures which which can be rebuilt (re-wound).

PastorCharlie,
What did all that cost?

I would also check with a motor rewind shop to get it rebuilt. Typically they are much less expensive than a dealer or RV shop and quite often use better quality parts than the OEM's. Good luck.

Find a Cummings repair shop and they can do the repair. I took mine to Cummings in Kenly, NC and they removed it and put it on test bench and did diagnostic and then repair then ran it for a day to verify repair.

Been having issues with the generator for a while. It finally quit working and RV shop says it will cost more to rebuild than replace. My question is, does anyone know of a place that sells used or rebuilt generators? Can i replace the onan with something else? I live in Houston. Thanks!!!

I'd stick with the ONAN and you've already been provided with a link for used one's. Just be glad that you obviously already have enough space for one of these. Generac replacements with an Onan are near to impossible with many coaches.

Go to "www.marxrv.com/rvsalvage.htm" and you will find a very long list of rv salvage yards. I have contacted "Visone Auto mart" a couple of times but have not purchased anything. You can look online at what they have but it's probably better to call.
