By the way, I haven't owned one, but it seems some newer generators are fuel injected. Maybe they start quicker -- don't know.
When I had my F-Series pickups I looked into obtaining a PTO generator (since the trucks did have PTO). I doubt PTO is available on the E-Series stripped chassis--wouldn't that be interesting: just eliminate the Onan all together and put a generator off the V-10.

Of course we could always put this bad boy in the Axis too:
Generator Head - 10,000 Watts Max, Belt Driven
7.2kW!! Run two A/Cs and the RV sitting next to us LOL

I believe all the quiet Honda generators are fuel injected but our common Onan's are not and still have a carb.
