Seems like most of the generator talk on this and other GMC forums is 'what to replace it with'
I became pretty enamored with the Onan CCK that came with my Revcon. The coach has not moved in a long time but every couple years a hurricane threatens us and i get the Onan running and it runs FOR DAYS. Then i forget about it for another couple years.
My recently acquired Birch needed a generator. I found an Onan Emerald 1 that will just fit with minor mods and should still use the power drawer rails.
The guys on Smokstack.com understand these things at a very deep level. THrough them i've had no trouble keeping my old CCK running and getting my head around the Emerald.
From what i understand, the Power Drawer is not unique. Onan made a whole bunch of that type generator without the sliding drawer and with a different carb configuration.
Of course there are quieter more fuel efficient gensets but they ain't cheap and it seems like with a little patience the Original can be made to work pretty well.
Just curious if there other fans of the green anchor.

It's gonna take a lot of Adderall to get this thing right.
