I reported last year that my 6000w Onan is no longer producing 120v... more like 70-80 volt no matter what the RPM is. A few different suggestions that I have not tried.

This weekend we traveled into the air quality alert area of West Virginia to do white water rafting and the trip there and back without roof air was miserable for the rear occupants. This has just voted priority one by everyone in my family. My requirements are reliable roof air operation on the road, and reliable air when I return to the hot coach in a parking lot of some activity like cycling, rafting, sailing, etc. Our power requirements outside of air conditioning are easily supported by the 2 6v golf cart batteries for the weekend.

What is the latest on the Dometic units? I have read the Daily Pose and GMCnet postings but doesn't seem to be conclusions. The Onan starts right up and seems to run smoothly, smells like gas when running, but runs. Sounds and smells more like an old Ford 9n tractor than something you want to sleep in.

For a guy ready to pull the trigger this week, what are my reliable modern options?
