I was slightly off with information. Honda rates noise at full load and at 1/4 load, not at half load.
They are still much quieter than most Onans. The 2,000-watt does start at 53 decibels at 1/4 load, but the larger 3,000-watt starts at only 49 decibels at 1/4 load. Even at full load it is still in high 50s.
In any case I would have a hard time buying a motorhome with generator on awning/patio side. Why put up with noise and exhaust when it can be on other side of RV? In this case I'd guess they couldn't install Onan on driver side because of space or weight distribution, but that's another problem altogether.
