Hello, we recently purchased our first Class C and are looking at making some improvements. It's a 2018 Thor Four Winds 28Z that we bought from a company that used it as a rental. The current Onan 4000 is at 577 hours, and takes a few seconds to start. It clanks, chug, clank, start. When turning it off, it shakes the whole coach and makes some interesting sounds. My previous travel trailer had an external Honda generator that was excellent and was quiet, started easily, turned off easily. The company mentioned they maintenanced the generator earlier. I suspect (with no real facts) that the generator might need to be replaced soon. Rather than replacing it with another 4000, I am curious if we could upgrade it to a 5000 without much of an issue. Am I way off base with thinking about replacing it?

Additionally, I read some folks recommending to change a 30amp coach to 50amp. What are the benefits of doing so?

Thanks!
