Were it me, and if I had the VIN number, I'd call the factory and ask (OK, hope) that the wiring for a genset was installed at the time of the buildout, even though no genset was ordered.
Some manufacturers do, some don't.
If the wiring harness was installed at buildout, then adding a genset would be relatively straightforward. If not, well, things would get a bit more complicated.

Sounds like good advice to me and the folks at Leisure are very helpful. I know that the gen was an option according to the 06-07 brochure, and I'd be surprised if it didn't have the connections in place. But they should be able to tell you up at the factory in Winkler.
Ours came with an Onan, and it has worked very well with no problems other than balking once at starting when temps were in the 20s.
