Any thoughts on the advantages of the integrated generators vs the portable ones? I feel like the portables are better in just about every aspect except storage. I was thinking I could probably build a frame to hold them in the existing space the Onan took up.
The Onans just seem to go through way more fuel. My only guess is the portables don't last as long.

The advantage of the onboard Onan is;
#1 it already has a storage spot & connected to a fuel source
#2 it already runs all the appliances onboard your RV, can be started with the push of button inside & possible auto start when batteries get low
#3 a single portable capable of running everything will be very heavy to move around & store,
#4 it will require 2 smaller gennys connected in parallel to run everything, maybe everything, which will be harder to store,
#5 that pair will still use plenty of fuel that also has to be stored along with possibly an extended run fuel tank
#6 that $1700 won't buy a pair of Honda's with the parallel kit or fuel tank.
The only disadvantage I can see to keeping/fixing the Onan is waiting 60-90 for the $1700 reimbursement & dealing with headaches & Good Sams.
