FC Generator Replacement

[Andy Coleman]

Hey Scott,

The 8k watt onan quiet diesel weighs about 420 lbs.

The 12.5k watt onan quiet diesel weights 770 lbs. 350 lbs is quite a
difference, even on a heavy Wanderlodge.

However, if you look at the specs, they get similar fuel efficiency.

If you only have two roof airs, go with 8K watts.

I have a FC-35 with 3 cruise air underbelly AC units. I'm also
considering a onan quiet diesel. I guess I'm stuck having to buy the
large 12.5K watt.

Hope that helps.
