I appreciate it bigtime. Thje 3600 single cylinder Onans don't hold up well at all by comparison. When I took one of ours in to the local (cummins Onan South) shop, they had a pile of them in the corner. I have a 2800 (I think) in the garage which starts and runs and makes power. I haven't decided to keep it or sell it. With mounts for an Econoline or like van, hang it underneath.

3600 RPM vs. the Onan NH's 1800 RPM.  This distinction
is not well appreciated not only from a noise perspective
but also longevity.
