Our 1996 Dodge 190V Onan 2800 was mounted inside the body, but accessed from ithe outside - it was noisy inside and vibrated too much to even think about sleeping as it was located under the head of the bed on the driver side.
Our 2008 Chev 190V Onan 2800 is mounted underneath. The "muffler" mod has been done. Yes, I have had my afternoon nap with the generator running. We often use it when boondocking for microwave cooking and for hot drinks using our electric kettle. Walking back to the RT, while the generator is running, you do notice it as you get within 50 ft, but it is just a purr when inside. We try to park so that the exhaust faces a roadway or other non-inhabited area. At home, it is run for half an hour every fifteen days and I sometimes forget that it is running even though I am in the front garden nearby.
Cummins/Onan have a dealer locator website. Just type Onan 2800 and you will get all sorts of stuff.
