Generator under bed?

I was looking online at a few of the Winnabago toy haulers and they place the Cummins Onan generator under the bedroom??

Does anyone have any first hand experience concerning the noise and vibrations coming from such a layout.

I would think that listening to the generator AND the AC at the same time would drive you crazy.....

Another question, with the rear deck setup how do you keep the cabin cool, if you have the rear deck down? I would think that with the large rear opening all the cool air flowing out the back would be keeping your neighbors cool not you?

Sure the drop down screen would keep the bugs out but thats about all it would do.

Our Onan 6500 is under our bedroom,,, no issues here either... I will say that once I added the gen-turi, it got even quieter. . . .

Thanks, I think the 5,000 or 5,500 is an option...

Our 2005 Raptor had the generator up front, not under the bed completely but under the floor - I barely heard it or felt it. Our current rig has it under part of the bed too, again it's not an issue. It's an Onan 5500 - I wouldn't want the Onan 4000 under or anywhere close, I've camped next to a few of those and they are loud.
