“Where do you carry the 2200?”
I have a 09 Eagle Cap 995 and it originally came with an Onan option in the drivers side rear wing...But I’m not so much a Onan fan, so when I ordered the build I had them delete the rear horizontal genny door in lieu of a street side, in-the-wing vertical door, just large enough to slip the 2200 thru and a few supplies... Our previous 05 Citation 9-6 had no such provision, so lesson in packaging learned...
In retrospect, I was uber lucky that Eagle Cap agreed to accommodate that on-the-fly change... The opposing wing has two 30# LPG bottles, so they used the same dimension door... I believe the standard build is mostly with the emphasis on options, of which the Onan is a dealer cash cow...Also, has 60gal fresh water and 2” walls... It’s primarily for these reasons and off-grid camping that I pulled the trigger... Spent a bunch of time reconfiguring the entire electrical to what’s now a passive-cascading (smart) whole camper system with two sub-panels and two ATS switches... Can run the AC for about 3 hrs (compressor cycling...) from the 200a/hr Li concurrent with solar...
