AZCampinfool,
I have also been looking at a used Onan that came out of a wrecked class A motorhome. It doesn't have it's own fuel tank, but the dealer showed me a picture of one he installed with a 12 gallon boat fuel tank. It sat in the front compartment with the generator, and looked like a nice installation. Now that I have mentioned installation, here's the worst part. If your trailer isn't generator prepped, it can cost anwhere from $1500.00 to $2000.00 to get the generator installed with all the wiring, insulated box, underbelly muffler, and auto switching unit. bsmeaton and a couple of others have researched this pretty extensively and relayed the information on another thread a couple of months ago. You would save alot by doing as much as possible yourself. Since you already own one Honda, you may be money ahead to buy another and paralelling them, less weight too from what I understand.
I'm still undecided on what I'll do. Right now I have a Troy-Built 5550 watt portable, but it is pretty heavy ( about 150 lbs. ), and a little louder than I care to hear. Not unbearable, just noticeable. Brad suggested checking out the sine wave generators, but I haven't yet.
Don't know that I have helped you, but maybe.
