Re: [RE-wrenches] small 10kw diesel generators

Jay,

Much like the Onan/Cummins propane RV gensets, the diesel units draw cooling 
air from below, and the exhaust exits either below or to the bottom side.
I service a repeater site that utilizes the model you describe and it sits on 
pretty beefy stand. I’ve also seen many of the propane models that sit on a 
table or stand. My opinion is that they are great for coaches and RVs, but 
there are better choices out there for stationary gensets. We’ve had really 
good luck with the Aurora 9kws, having installed a couple dozen so far. The 
Dynagen controller is highly configurable and the I think the little Perkins is 
a sweet runner, even though I’m not a Perkins fan.

[RE-wrenches] small 10kw diesel generators

[jay]

HI All,

I”m possibly in the market for a small 9-12kw diesel generator.
With enclosure and set up for auto start.

I’ve been looking at the Onan RV diesel sets.  
Cummins Onan QD 10.0 Diesel RV Generator | 10.0HDKCA-11506

Is 1800 rpm, water cooled, sound enclosure etc, for around $10,000 and fits the 
fill pretty well.

Are there any others or does anyone have anything to say about these models 
from Onan?

thanks

jay
