We are thinking about installing a generator and looking at the Onan 5500 for a few reasons. One, I like the idea of remotely starting the unit before getting to the destination in hot weather. Two, I like the idea of having a permanent installation. I have a few questions:
Am I missing anything buy having 2 portables such as the Honda or Yamaha's? (I don't have any use around the house)
Are these quite enough?...can they be run at night?
My dealer wants about $4700 plus installation. I found them locally for $3300. Are they easy to install?

Thanks,
Ken
