I took a look at the wires sticking out of the Onan and I can figure most of them out, the ones with the big terminals on them are obviously battery cables, the one with the multiple connector on the end goes to the remote start/stop switch.
Looking at http://www.bdub.net/wirediagrams/1975-120vac-living-area.pdf, the AC power stuff looks simple enough.

The drawing shows two AC power wires, one #6 white and one #6 black. And of course, I have three white wires, one larger than the other two, where I should have a black wire and a white wire of the same size.

Am I going to have to wait until I get the Onan running to check voltage to figure out which wire is which, or does somebody have a clue for me? If I had to guess, I would venture that the two smaller wires are the 120VAC leads and the bigger one is the neutral/ground. Am I close?
