REMOVE ONAN GENERATOR from RV to CREATE MORE STORAGE - DIY

[@charlesnone4628]

i have to do the removal, i know it is 288lbs so i am thinking same as you with my car jack....thanks for the video....I have seen and used your viddeo on awning motor also....very resourceful person you are...safe travels

[@planetkingwood]

wow. that was exactly what I was looking for. You gave the courage to pull my onan 4000 out and put a battery bank there.

[@jclemmer75]

Brian - thanks for the video! It definitely made the task much easier especially seeing how you removed the two screws on the lower left to gain access to the wiring inside the generator. I started with the exhaust pipe as you did - getting that out of the makes moving around underneath a lot easier. I also put some penetrating oil on all the bolts before getting started since this is a 2009 model. From there I attacked the fuel supply (propane in this case) which was a bear to get apart. With the gas line capped it was no stopping - killed all the power and got the DC in, AC out and control wire harness all disconnected. I covered up and stowed all those connections. Oh, I'm converting the propane hose to a quick connect for the grill! I'm going to have a local metal shop help drop the generator out and fabricate a battery box as I didn't have the means. Thanks again for the inspiration!

[@tekman2000]

Thank you very much for taking the time to post this video. Just recently I finally managed to get my very first Motorhome. It is a 2000 Winnebago with only 46k on it. It is in GREAT shape but unfortunately the original Onan generator only runs when pressing “START”. As soon as I let go of “START” the generator shuts off. I am currently diagnosing this issue when not working and funds permit. It is nice to know that just getting rid of my original Onan MAY be an option. I was thinking of just purchasing a brand new generator with wheels and putting that outside when I want to run my AC??? Anyway, thank you very much Brian for for this video. 😀

[@RVwithTito]

You could probably store the new generator in the space you removed the old one...if you went that route. Good luck!

Thanks. It worked out great.

[@choimdachoim9491]

I really enjoyed watching you do this conversion. I removed the Onan from our 1990 Class A but I had to construct a ramp and use a come-along because the floor of the compartment was welded into place. I replaced the Onan with a lighter weight dual-fuel generator that weighs not even a quarter of the Onan. I did that because I didn't like the idea of a gasoline engine in a compartment springing a leak and causing a fire. Secondly, the weight was ridiculous. Thirdly, we don't need the amount of juice the Onan put out. I'm going to eventually make the Onan our Hurricane Black-out generator for our home here in Southeastern Louisiana.

great job thanks for the making the effort to show how it was done

[@RVwithTito]

[@PhotoAlbert]

The generator on our Class C hasn't worked since we bought it, and we knew that when we bought it. The folks we bought it from never used it because they always stayed in places with full hookups, so I guess the gas went back in it. We are finding that we usually stay in places with full hookups too so we never bothered getting it fixed. I don't know how much it would cost to get one of those Onan generators repaired or replaced, but I'm wondered if we wouldn't be better off just getting a portable generator, but so far we've never needed our generator. But I do like the idea of just getting rid of the generator and using the freed up space for extra storage since that's one area that our rig is really short on. Great video as always Brian! Hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hey. Thanks!

[@dr.jasonanderson7226]

I just bought a 2017 voltage 4115 toyhauler. It has a 5500 Onan generator, factory unit. This is my first time having a RV. Having a generator that only runs some items is disappointing as running your car but you can't have the radio and wipers on at the same time, the lights but no radio. How is it possible to run everything while boondocking?

[@williamserrahn9702]

I did this 5 years ago and built a battery box from the old genset frame to hold two 6 volt deep cycle batteries. Also replaced the house batteries with 2 more 6 volt deep cycles. Could have used the 12 volt cable to the genset to connect them but instead put a 2000 watt low frequency inverter under the dinette seat and connected everything with 2/0 welding cable, marine grade bus bars, fuses, and battery switches. I almost always boondock, and I can get through even a cold night with the furnace cycling on battery and still turn the inverter on for coffee in the morning. If I do need to charge, I've got a 2k inverter genset for that. Mostly on 1 or 2 night trips in summer or if I'm driving between campsites, I don't need to charge. Also installed 250watts of solar on the roof. I just thought it was really annoying to have to start up that Onan genset to make a pot of coffee.

[@RVwithTito]

Agreed. With solar and a decent inverter, you can surely get away with a small generator for backup charging. If you get one that will power your A/C then that's even better.

You'll have a positive and negative DC cable that goes to your house battery (that'll be a hot one), your AC output that goes to your transfer switch, and a remote start cable that you could probably zip tie and stash underneath. Finally you'll have a fuel line that you'll need to plug.

[@innersanctumoccultube3059]

The questions I have relate to what would be the best option for utilizing the lines in and out of the generator once you have removed it? I am in the process of completely converting my class A to solar and hybrid off-grid and I'm doing it a little differently. Like you, I purchased my panels from Santan Solar and will be picking them up in Savanah in another week, but I'm working on essentially setting up 3 powerstation, or power supply sources, let's say, the first being my new Pacron E3000, with 4 x 250w panels charging it full time, then the other two panels charging a 24v bank, while leaving the 12v house system alone and laying the alternator take care of those. I want the 12v to run only the low wattage lights and the pumps, and occasionally run a 2000w PSW inverter, use the 24v to run an aftermarket 24v "trucker" ac mod, and the Pecron, basically in place of two 100amp mppt controllers, and a 2000w PSW inverter (all of which are inside the Pecron), and a 3140wh lithium bank (also built in), to run the high loads, And run my bedroom ac all night. Back to the question: I removed the rooftop ac and the Onan 4000 this week. I installed a low profile plexiglass skylite to fill the hole and allow solar panels to install over it, and I do have a small hybrid generator coming which I plan to use to charge things up in times of sparse sun. What would you suggest I do with the generator compartment considering the components mentioned, that might make use of the wiring in the generator compartment. I suppose I could rig up the start wires to the new generator and maybe even connect the fuel line as a fuel source when needed, so that would be the place for that, but that would still leave a lot of room there, with wires leading out to the breaker box and a transfer switch. I'm wondering about sending power from there, like you said you would hook up your inverter there, which you did. How did you exactly do that? All that typing comes down to that I suppose, because I'm assuming that would be the most logical use of them, but I'm also thinking about how best to use the Pecron in that mix, inserted of just plugging the shore power line into it, which automatically sends 350w to the fridge and charges the house 12v, I want to put it on its own, powering only the 110v outlets or anything I connect directly to it. Can I put a busbar there and connect in a way that powers the outlets and nothing else, or should I just run a new line from the 110 braker box and get rid of the 3 wire house the Onan used to send through? Insights?

[@Tuckerclan]

Another "overengineered" addition. LOVE IT. Too many hacks on KZbin just doing enough to get by. Questions .. Why did you drain the oil? Wouldn't you want to preserve the unit for sale? Should have fogged the unit before removing. I hope you capped the gas line and not just added the shut-off, accidents happen. Unit should bring some good money to pay for the electric conversion. NIce job and great video. Thanks.

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Frank, this was no hack. It is more along the lines of re-engineering. Somewhere on this puppy is a case vent and raining the oil is to keep from making a mess when tipping. Fogging is a quaint idea yet is really not needed in most cases, especially if you might be selling it in the next year or two. Also, when you are racing darkness to get something done, you cap a gas line with whatever you have lying around. A barbed shut off valve is perfect.

[@RVwithTito]

I thought of adding a fuel hose to the other end of the valve then cap it. Instead I taped up the fuel line valve just in case. I don't know how long I'll store the generator, so I drained the oil to keep it from settling in there.

One more where the original house battery went. Added 200 watts of solar with a renogy charge controller. Then replace the propane fridge with a new 12 dc compressor fridge.

Great Brian, now what do you do with the generator?

[@sifilmaker]

wow.. I don't think I would ever give up my generator to get a couple of cubic ft in space. pretty brave. Generators are pretty durable and dependable, batteries maybe early on, but as they go bad and they often do, that generator could be a lifesaver.. lol Nice video though.. keep up the good work.

If I had to, there are smaller, quieter and more efficient ones out now anyway.
