I think you hit the nail on the head. I had to take my Onan 2500 in for service a couple years ago. It was only $350 or 400 to solve the issue. But I did pull it out of the camper first. That was an easy hour on each end. If I had brought them the camper and had them remove it, I can see this becoming a $600 labor bill.
The reason I took it to Onan for service rather than tackling it myself....it is a real PITA to remove & install. Literally remove the door frame as it will not fit through the compartment door. As I do not have any sort of bench setup to test it with, every adjustment would be a re-install to test, and re-remove to adjust some more. In my case, to me, it was worth the money to have them fix it proper.
