Hi,
I, too, think that is outrageous, but they do have to pay their bills, and I agree that us motorhome owners are often seen as "rich". I also can't address the issues of repairing the generators like some of those before me have. I haven't had to do much to my Onan 7K other than normal maintenance.
That said, I purchased one of these
500 lb. Capacity Hydraulic Table Carts when I had to drop my gas tank to have it welded, and at the same time, replaced the fuel pump. This thing made the job quite safe as I didn't have any help with the process.
Then, two years ago, our refrigerator failed and I replaced it with a compressor model. Again, I used the above cart to slide the old refrigerator onto, and then when installing the new one, we put it on the cart and were able to match heights so much more easily than if we had to lift it up all ourselves.
As I was reading the posts on your generator, I'm thinking that SHOULD I ever have to remove my generator, that cart might come in handy once again.
Oh, if you need more capacity, they sell a 1000 lb. version for another $90 or so. But so far, I think I've been well served with the 500 lb. model.
Just something to think about.
Good Luck,
~Rick
