I have a Birchaven with no genset. Still has the rails for the original power drawer. I have an Emerald 4K that i can make work but I'd have to take saw to the rails and the space so before i do that I thought I'd see what's out there.

Dave,

I do not know this for a fact, but I was told that Co-op has a stack of removed Onans. No bet how many are the BF version.

Put a flywheel trigger Pertronix in it right away. Best thing I ever did.
Oh and change out the POS bridge rectifier for a good one.
