Marcel,
If you don't use the generator a lot, you may want to consider a
"contractor" unit, such as my TroyBilt:
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g5330-troybilt-generator-installation.html
The installation wasn't very difficult, even in my space-constrained 23',
and it's worked perfectly. The total cost, including the battery-start
generator, Onan-style muffler, and 12VDC & crankcase-pulsation operated
fuel pumps was only about $800. While it's a little louder than even the
Onan, it's been totally reliable. It starts easily, carries a 5 kW load
without complaint, and hasn't required any service during the 7-1/2 years
it's been installed. I really should change its oil, now that I'm reminded
how long it's been in there!
