Well a stove top with 4 burners can consume 8KW. Now add 2 ACs to keep the rig cool with 4 burners going. Likely the cook won't be satisfied with using less burners or AC. So you could exceed even the 10K gen.
Plus and this is a big one the 7500 Onan does not have 240V so no electric stove top/range capability.
Most of the stove tops in RVs are 2 burner. Not sure if thry are 110 or 220 though.
Of course and there are lots of tradeoffs.
I think you missed my point - Even at 4KW for a stove top and 2 ACs you could be really pushing a 7500 Onan. And most likely at 120V vs 240V you would have less stove top heating capability.
But my point is that for an electric RV 7500W is marginal. I had a 7500 Onan in the last rig that was very difficult to push to 62A. But then I didn't have a stove top.
All electric implies significant AC power. But if the OP is asking about options and he should know that he can compromise or not.
Good post. All good things to consider. I think if it was me I would simply manage the power and save some money. Depends on the OPs expectations and budget.
