We had the Onan 3600 (30amp) on our 01 Montana and when we got the Big Sky it was prep for the Onan 5500. I hardly ever used the gen. in the 01 but since I had it I took it out of the old one and put it in the new one. We do not boon-dock so we hardly use it but I used it a couple of weeks ago when we were at a campground and they lost power. This unit uses .6 gal/ hour at 1/2 load so a 30 lb tank should run it about 12-14 hours.
If I were looking today I would have it on board for the convenience but would have the 5500 not that I need the power but that is what the montana is prep for.
Most of the time we are hooked to 30 amp in the campgrounds so we can run the same things off the generator.
