Thanks Herman, Went to Colorado Standby's site. He DOES have good prices. Beats Tweety by three to four hundred on same Onan unit. If I go new, will likely go with him. Bob Doughty

Thanks Chuck for all the good information. Onan installation was Micky Mouse at best. (torch and weld project done who knows when by who knows who.) Talked to some today about portable vs stationary. Understand sationary units have special cooling appliances to keep temps down while inclosed in RV box. May look at designing a drop down floor to the box that will allow me to cleanly store a portable unit and still be able to set it outside for parked use. One even suggested mounting the port on the rear hitch. (Better have a good set of locks on that one!!!!) Should be some good used units from discarded RVs out there if one just knew where to look. Mine has good motor and armature but open stator coil. (Onan no longer carries this coil) Have a list of RV bone yards but have discovered that many listed are no longer in business. Anyone else feel free to chime in. Thanks

'86 Onan gen field coils shot. No replacement available. Time to update to modern unit. Can a new modern inverter type unit be installed in current gen bay on a motorhome? Are there Fed Regs. on this subject and if so where do I find them? Any suggestions, other than "replace the OLD motorhome", will be appreciated.
