New Onan Generator

It looks like Onan has a new generator for truck campers. It seems much more sophisticated and much quieter.

Onan QC 2800i

Here is a review:

Onan CQ 2800i

Our new camper just rolled off of Northwood’s production line. Onan doesn’t list the old generators on their web site so I am hoping we get this one.

  • Gas?...MMM, how does that work? So the TC would have a gas tank? This would not be a good choice for a genny in a in any slide in bed TC. Trying to wrap my head around this one. I would think this would be for more like a class B where the fuel line is plumbed into the main tank of the vehicle and what if you had a diesel?...It does not make sense to me.


    Read the specs...says it comes in gas and LP models....gas = 2.8Kw...LP = 2.5Kw..
  • Gas?...MMM, how does that work? So the TC would have a gas tank? This would not be a good choice for a genny in any slide in bed TC if at all. Trying to wrap my head around this one. I would think this would be for more like a class B where the fuel line is plumbed into the main tank of the vehicle which is what they show in the review and what if you had a diesel?...It does not make sense to me trying to put this in a TC and why?. I just did the propane conversion on my new Honda 2200i for the exact reason not to have to carry gasoline. LPG is way safer and has many other benefits. Gas may produce more power but the trade offs are greater. IMHO.
