The OP's reasons for considering a larger generator seemed to be partially driven by a desire for a compressor refrigerator.
I wonder how many more of us would be completely happy with our absorption RV refrigerators if either RV builders, or absorption refrig manufacturers, provided: Either self-leveling refrigerator mounts ... or self-leveling internal absorption mechanism leveling??

Well a stove top with 4 burners can consume 8KW. Now add 2 ACs to keep the rig cool with 4 burners going. Likely the cook won't be satisfied with using less burners or AC. So you could exceed even the 10K gen.
Plus and this is a big one the 7500 Onan does not have 240V so no electric stove top/range capability.
Most of the stove tops in RVs are 2 burner. Not sure if thry are 110 or 220 though.
I think you missed my point - Even at 4KW for a stove top and 2 ACs you could be really pushing a 7500 Onan. And most likely at 120V vs 240V you would have less stove top heating capability.
But my point is that for an electric RV 7500W is marginal. I had a 7500 Onan in the last rig that was very difficult to push to 62A. But then I didn't have a stove top.
All electric implies significant AC power. But if the OP is asking about options and he should know that he can compromise or not.

If there's a WILL, I want to be in it!
