Harry,
When I was buying EV6010's it was a few years ago. I was doing craigslist searches down here in Texas. I believe I was paying between $600 and $800 US per generator. But they all needed some minor repairs. One was a oil leek at the oil pump. Not really a pain to replace the gasket, but the generator stater had to be removed to access the oil pump.
If it runs smooth and doesn't leek, it should be good to go. That one is a good one for a RV, because of the 2 circuits. Some Honda's are 220 volts.
They are not any quieter than the Onan, they are a little more high pitched because of the higher RPM that they run at. Most of the noise on the Honda is from the cooling fan in the engine compartment (not the radiator fan).
Pinellas power products (Paul) 727-439-2872 is the place to go to for any tech advice or parts on the Honda. Parts can be bought cheaper on the interweb, but I like going through Paul for all.
Four stroke and watered cooled!! And they don't make them anymore. So I don't think they will get any cheaper.
If it makes any difference, I have one that I went completely through to replace my Onan. But the Onan WILL NOT DIE!!! So the Honda still sits and waits.....
Good luck,
Scott
