Re: Has anyone upgraded to a QD 8000 from an LP unit

In theory you should have no problems. That said here are a few things to consider. An 8KW generator probably is split phase power. This means It is closer to your shore power connection where you have 120 VAC line to neutral and 240 VAC line to line. Most motorhomes don't have any 240 line to line appliances. That said the transfer switch must be wired for this configuration. Your existing generator likely has a single pole 30 Amp breaker. An 8KW (66.67 Amps @ 120VAC) generator may have 2 50 Amp breakers or a single dual pole 50 Amp breaker. It is likely you will need to run additional and larger wiring. You also need to consider the transfer switch you have. If it is rated to handle split phase 240 and is rated for 33.33 Amps @ 240 VAC or 66.67 Amps @ 120 VAC it could work. The good news is your master breaker panel is likely rated to at least 50 - 100 Amp @ 240 VAC split phase so that should be fine. The other good news is the new generator would likely fit in the location your old generator came out of. Also, you need to consider if your diesel tank has an accessory out port. If not, you will need to figure out how to connect to the fuel supply.
