What is the issue with ONAN?  They make a plethora of models and appear to be competitive both pricing and support.  I kind of like the idea they use an injector instead of a carburetor, reduces maintenance.  I'm not a dealer, nor user, just shopping around for something to put on my house and to use on remote towers.  So I'm looking for both a big and a little unit.  I'd judt like to find what is so terrible about your unit?

    It's part of their new hybrid package. I think it has a large
    battery that powers the inverter up to a point, and if you use
    too much power, it starts the engine to supplement. The generator
    also runs as a motor as a supplement to the gas engine, but only
    for short bursts. The braking is hybrid regen/friction, so if you
    are "light" on the brakes, that energy goes into the battery.
    Based on what I've read about it, the only energy that goes into
    the big battery while you're driving is from the regen.

    I presume (but don't know) that there is some way to charge the
    big battery via an AC plug?

        The new F150 that they're referring to has MUCH more power
        than that, up to 7.2kW.

            We have an F150 that's a few years old now that has a 400
            watt inverter. Not particularly useful for house backup.
            That's why we have a generator that can run the house.

            The inverter that powered the outlet in the bed of my
            Nissan Titan was adequate to run power tools all day. 
            I'd think something like the Ford would be even better
            for powering your trailers maybe!  Be quiet, and one
            less thing to maintain and fuel up too.

                Any generator can be mounted if you try hard enough.

                I have had it with the piece of shit Onan generator
                on the fiber trailer.   If the splicing trailer
                didn’t have a built in fuel tank I would just strap
                a Honda on and be done with it, but I would prefer
                something with a fuel pump.
