Actually, I'd get hold of Miller and see about sourcing a new field coil from him. All the options require changes. The Onan was made for the coach. If you don't mind minor (or major) surgery, take a tape measure down to Homer the Despot or TSC or Lowes and measure the available offerings. Once you take the tank off and take the set out of its carrying frame, a lot of them will fit.

Field coils in both the running and donor Onan are bad, so I
think it's time to move on. What have folks replaced it
with? Something available now, so Honda EV6010 doesn't
qualify. Something like the 5.5 Cummins Onan? We live the
the Great Pacific NW, so AC isn't required (OK, 3 days a
year maybe), so we could just toss a 3K portable in the Onan
cavity and get by.
