I like capra remover the Onan 5500 from my 2019 FL3700 because it sucked a full propane bottle dry in 5 hours use. I installed a solar system with LifePO4 batteries and keep a small Honda 2200 generator as a backup when boondocking. Cost was less than half of a new Onan. If you do get the Onan, you’ll likely need the 6” frame that goes under the generator to elevate it to the same height as the compartment door. No you cannot run both your ac units on a 2200 Honda but so far I wouldn’t go back to the propane Onan. My previous 3 toyhauler’s Onans were suitable that ran on gasoline supplied from the 35 gallon onboard fuel tank. The Onan 5500 will add about 300 lbs to the front of your 5th wheel.
