As I complete my Honda 6500 inverter install, I am looking for a home for the barbarian...I will let it go pretty cheap, if no takers I will shortly part it out and scrap the remaining.

Please let me know if anyone is interested. Located in Northwest NJ

Will the 6k fit in the gen compartment of a 23?

Not without substantial modification. The 23 compartment was designed for a 4 KW.

No. I couldn't find a frame bracket to install the Onan in my 23' so Kerry Pinkerton modified the one off his 6k for me. The 6k Onan is a few inches longer and the compartment in the 23' is too small. You would have to do some non-trivial structural and body work to get a 6k into a 23' GMC.

I am in East Pennsylvania and may be interested. How best to contact you? I just purchased a 78 Royal and have not been able to get the Onan to work.
