Vince Behm wrote on Wed, 04 November 2009 10:49I have a 1976 26' Elaganza and I need to purchase a generator. I have two
A/C's and would like to keep the house batteries in the generator
compartment. Any suggestions, both size (Kw) and manufacturer?
Thanks in advance!

Ideally, a good running OE 6-Kw Onan power drawer is the best option, maybe the only option of you want your batteries in the rear. At their current age, they tend to be somewhat problematic and people like to replace them, but they were MADE to fit the coach.
Unless the problem is in the AC end (and that can be fixed too) they normally will run with a few basic repairs. Fuel pumps tend to be a problem along with the lines feeding them, coils seem to go out, but rarely, and the control boards have issues sometimes, along with the LOP switch. The design and the RPMs they rum make them run virtually forever.
I recently replaced my high hour Onan with a "refurbished" unit I bought from another GMCer, After having problems with the fuel pump and the ignition on the 'new' one, I was kicking myself for changing my old reliable unit for the refurbished one, but since fixing a few items, it runs great.
I still have the old generator, complete and would like to get what I can out of it, but I am in Tucson, a rather long distance from you. Plug: If anyone who is coming to the April, 2018 GMCMI is interested, it will be available.
