Title: Generators
Post by: LarryAlida on March 25, 2002, 06:19:00 AM
We are considering adding a generator to our Clipper. We have a 21ft., 1978 Dodge 440 with a rear kitchen. Any suggestions as to type and size?
Thank You,Larry & Alida

I put one in my Clipper.  I did some homework, then bought an Onan MicroQuiet 4000.  It works great, and fit nearly perfect.  I have a few pictures of the install on my personal page - http://racenut.com/clipper (http://racenut.com/clipper) Use the "Work In Progress" button on the menu.

The best deal I found on the Onan was from a company called Colorado Standby http://www.coloradostandby.com (http://www.coloradostandby.com)  It was around $2200 delivered to my door.

Last year we used it to run the roof air for 3 hours from Sacramento to Santa Nella in 103F heat. I'm thinking that trip alone was worth the the price we paid.  (//images/smiles/icon_smile.gif)
