Repalcing Onan
I would like to junk the Onan I have and replace with electric start generator. Does any one know what generator I can use in place of Onan?. Thanks.

I pitched hissy fit to Onan about 3 years ago in Chandler, AZ at the rally about not modernizing their line up. I told them the time had come to switch over to inverter technology so I wouldn't need to put up with their constant speed models whose design probably dates back to the 1940 or before. The engineer I spoke with was on board and had me rant in front of his video camera about what I wanted to see and he completely agreed it was time for design changes. I'm still waiting. I can't figure out why no one has challenged Onan's share of the RV market by offering 4000 and 5500 watt inverter type generators. They could take over the market in short order.
Thank you for doing that! I agree completely. It's time Onan enter the 21st century with their smaller sized generator models for RV use. The only thing I can think of is that they are secure in their existing market and it is just too small therefor not worth it to them to rock the boat. I'm sure a company like Honda could have a 2800, 4000, and 5500 watt RV ready inverter generators on the market in months, . . . . should they decide to. No new technology required. Just repackaging existing technology. We'll see.
