Generators

Picked up a 1994 Georgie boy cruise master. What are recommendations for a replacement generator that will run the AC and fit in the current space?

Hope you're not looking for a straight forward answer. If so then replace with the exact same unit and save the pain. Many of the 5.5 Generacs out there are much smaller than an Onan same size replacement and you'll never get it in there.
The Champion's and such of the Chinese variety make for a cheap replacement, but with limitations and possibly some modifications.
They require a lot of clearance, for air circulation, but some have mounted fans in an ingenious manner as to overcome this. Then there's the exhaust and fuel delivery problem if not fuel pump equipped and with the gravity fed, built in fuel tank itself for filling in some cases.
The super easy way, is for mounting a hitch haul rack on the back, especially if you're not towing and setting one of these on there and you're done, except for locking it down. Click here:

I found a '95 GB online for $7,500. Don't spend too much.

Is the old gen (if still in motorhome) gas, LP, diesel? what brand and model?. Georgie boy used a lot of Kohler and some Generac, as well as Onan in the 90's.

Not to be overly simplistic, but if there's one there already, go with a new direct replacement if you can find one.

What was the old genny? likely they still make a comparable model.
