Portable Generator In Place of Onan Built In Generator
Has anyone replaced their Onan generator with a portable generator like a Honda or Yamaha 2000i in their truck camper?

Let's see go outside, get the portable out and fill with gas, start it, plug it in go back in side and use it, then when you are done reverse the whole procedure, or from inside push a button to start the built in, use it and then push a button to stop it, I'll stick with my built in
Yup, with all the cantankerousness that is typical of Onan generators. I've never seen one that started easily and when they do, they sound like a cheap contractor's generator hammering away. A friend of mine has a brand new one in a brand new Class C. Takes a ton of cranking to get it running. His old one was the same way. The techs just shrug their shoulders when asked to fix it.
You do get a nice foot massage while walking around inside, at least. The ear muffs do get uncomfortable after a while, though.
