Mr Wizard,
I also ask for any input from other folks on the subject of using the genset tray that came with your RV from the factory. My Itaska came with a Onan. I have a long story about the process I went through to try getting it repaired. I spent about $700.00 on parts only to find out after taking it to a Onan repair place, the cost to fix it would be apx. $1600.00. I trashed it and began my search for a replacement. That brought me to RV.Net and what a great service to all us folks. You Mr. Wizard I thank for all this free info. To all the others, thanks.
Now I'll get on subject. Your picture posted using the sliding tray reinforced my thinking that this space was useable. It's my honest feeling the RV dealers are not the right people to sell the Electric Start Champ. It seems to me they keep there doors open from CHUMPS like me who need Genset repair. I want to be a CHAMP. Their priceing the Electric Start units high like everthing else they sell. So maybe the CHUMP croud (and it's a crouded field) will just suffer any go there way. Anyway I might some day post my design for the retrofit sliding tray. Please some one give us your possible design in print or thought. The idea of leaving the door open is a good one however it is my hope to use this space to help lower the sound. Please, every one, give us your findings.
