    The most common engines/generator used in Onan generators are manufactured by Onan themselves. Definitely not Westinghouse...

      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.

      Ya it’s really a great machine. Ya I have it auto start off low voltage or state of charge. Peace of mind overnight.

    Love the content! Quick question, why is shore power 4 wires and the generator 3 wires?

    • @WhyNotRV
      @WhyNotRV  10 месяцев назад +1

      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.

      I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking. These units are designed to be mounted under RVs.

      You sure can. Every rv is different and will require different installation methods but use this as a guide for general installation purposes

      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

      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!

    • @WhyNotRV
      @WhyNotRV  7 месяцев назад

      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.

    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
