With the 3 inch lift you really don’t add much. But yes absolutely depends on where you go with your rig. The absolute lowest point on it is 9” above ground level
At least it's a lower depth than the Onan 2500. I like the dual-fuel aspect of it - and if I can (I know I could) set it up to auto-start off a multiplus 3000 low battery signal, that would make winter boondocking so much safer. I'm currently using a manual generator in a tent (to protect it from snow and rain) at that time of year.
Definitely more than one way to accomplish a similar goal here. This is just how I did it and wanted to be able to show everyone one option of getting it done.
@@WhyNotRV no worries! Many ways to get the job done as long as it gets done right?! Great video and I was unaware that there was an inverter generator that wasn't a portable sk I'm glad you shared!
Shore Power is two hot legs of 120 V in split phase. This generator puts out just one single leg of 120 V. Some generators do come with two legs of 120 V and bigger applications.
Would be interesting to see the results of an impact with the ground (speed bump?) or animal (armadillo?) at high speed. From the looks of it, seems that the unit is mounted backwards… Also thought Yamaha was the manufacturer of the LP Cummins units? Isn’t Westinghouse pretty much just a license brand now days? In any case, your install looks great!
I am working on adding a diamond plate angled in front of it to protect against road debris and larger objects. I would have to dive deeper into those other questions about who makes what exactly. The unit isnt mounted backwards by any means, it doesn't have specific limitations on what orientation it needs to be. I mounted it this way so I could access the front panel, with it mounted the other way I wouldn't be able to access it due to the recessed portion of the airstream I have it tucked up in.
Onan generator 2500i is $4,200 no mount. The 3600 is $4,500+ 5500 is $5,200+. Again all is no mount. Single fuel. This generator beats out Onan in multiple ways
As usual your presentations are top notch and extremely thorough. Excellent
Thank you very much! I truly appreciate it.
The most common engines/generator used in Onan generators are manufactured by Onan themselves. Definitely not Westinghouse...
I appreciate the comment. At the time of this video that was the information I had
I would so love to do that, but oofph - I barely clear my belly pans on some of the boondocking roads as is!

@@WhyNotRV Oh, and Hi - Ian here, BRN 8118 (same number if I roll the airstream) - hope to see you on the road!
Ya it’s really a great machine. Ya I have it auto start off low voltage or state of charge. Peace of mind overnight.
@thirteenadventures and yourself are always must watch vids. This is great info, detailed, comprehensive, complete, thank you!
Thank you. I appreciate it more than you know!!!
I usually just glue the carflex into the fs box, works well and should be weather tight!

Ya exactly. I appreciate it
Wow! Awesome video. Incredibly detailed.
Thank you! Hopefully it can be a guide for years to come as people do this project. Thank you for watching!!!
excellent video and awesome rig!
Thank you Corey, I appreciate it!!!
Love the content! Quick question, why is shore power 4 wires and the generator 3 wires?
Shore Power is two hot legs of 120 V in split phase. This generator puts out just one single leg of 120 V. Some generators do come with two legs of 120 V and bigger applications.
Dude, you’re awesome!!!
Thank you very much. It means a lot to me. I really appreciate it.
Can you send us the wire diagram to connect the start/stop function with the Cerbo GX?
It’s right in this video as well as in my other generator install video from the Montana. Brief through and take a screenshot
Any concerns about electrolysis?
I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking. These units are designed to be mounted under RVs.
Can you mount the under a fifth wheel?
You sure can. Every rv is different and will require different installation methods but use this as a guide for general installation purposes
Suspended from the plywood subfloor..?
It’s 3/4” thick, plus has the metal fire barrier on the bottom side and the flooring is 1/4” it’s all plenty thick to support this weight

This generator is about as expensive as the Onan.
Onan generator 2500i is $4,200 no mount. The 3600 is $4,500+ 5500 is $5,200+. Again all is no mount. Single fuel. This generator beats out Onan in multiple ways
@@WhyNotRV Amazon has the duel fuel 5500 for $5300. The Onan LP 5500 is $5850. Either way, neither is a bargain.
Interested until you used the name of God in vain. May Gid Bless you.
Thank you. Have a blessed day
