Need Help Selecting a Generator
I'm putting a generator into a new build. Building an extremely robust overland type RV. I would prefer it to be in the 6-7KW range so I can run 2 rooftop AC units. Lots of volume to cool. ...

Ok. Wow. The Onan QDs really seem to be there way to go here. I have a Northern Lights marine generator about the same size and am very, very happy with it. I'm assuming these higher than me Onans are more trouble free than the little 2500 LP models? I have one of those now and it's always breaking down. Lots of repairs and maintenance.
If you have an Onan product that is always breaking down, what makes you expect another Onan product to be trouble free? I have always suspected they make their money selling replacement parts! Only my opinion of course and worth what you are paying for it.
I have not dealt with diesels in a long time, but I know there are better units available. Bus converters have units they prefer, but do not recall the name. Check if NOrthern Lights has a non marine version.
If I was doing a new build today I would be trying to fit in mini split ac's. Should also reduce size of genset needed.
