It's mounted in the front - it looks like the slide should move manually but it doesn't. The bumper had a piece in the middle that can be removed. This is the Onan air cooled version Marquis 6.5k gasoline powered. When Jon stopped by earlier this year "77 Newell" he said the compartment looked a little smaller or maybe it's just the door. A bigger gen unit would fit in the space. it goes back pretty far. The pop-out door is pretty short though.

Yeah I think most of you guy's have the larger water cooled gen sets. Those are a big upgrade over the gas powered unit this one has. This 75 Newell is pretty basic. It could probably work fine with this Onan if I got it running better. I've seen them on Ebay, they seem to command a pretty good price still. so either they work ok or they're popular because they're rare.

I still may buy that Onan 5.5k diesel. I've heard others say these units run pretty quiet. It would be a big upgrade for this coach if it's in good shape like the seller is saying. I also want to experiment was some kind of solar system.

That picture of the Onan and the access door was in the middle of paint removal. It's getting there as far as that goes. My coach icon also shows some progress. I can see the end of paint removal coming though. Can't wait to get started on painting the coach.
