eldondo,
Thanks for the kind words. I'm just trying to help out as many others on here have helped me out over the years. :)
Let us know how you make out after your trip. One word of advice, if I may. The oil fill on my Onan is a real pain in the neck. The first quart goes in pretty easy, but the last half of the second one is real slow. You have to keep waiting for the oil to slowly push it's way into the crankcase from the oil fill port. Make sure when you're done that the level is right up to the top of the cross-hatch on the dipstick. (Assuming yours is similar to mine.) Before you head back from your destination, check the oil level again. If it's dropped down some, top it off.
Have a great trip and let us know how things worked out.
