I installed a Onan Marquis Gold 7000 in our front compartment. The fiver wasn't gen ready which I liked because I "do it my way". I'm like Chris, didn't trust the floor. And the way the Onan cools, it sucks air from the bottom so I just removed the floor and welded some 2" square tubing to the fiver frame. I also made it so it would slide out of the compartment since an Onan is like an old lady, you know, lots of TLC. One thing to remember, make sure the bottom of the genny is above the inside lip of the door frame. So if it has to come out, you don't have to lift and pull at the same time. I have an Alfa, and a friend of mine had an Alfa also with a factory installed genny. He had a problem with the Onan that was covered under warranty and took it to an Onan shop. His genny was below the lip of door and he said the Onan techs came up with new words he never heard!
Thanks. Hadn't thought of just cutting out the floor vs just the cutouts.
Definitely not gonna let it down without some easy way to get it back up and out.
