Onan RV Generators, just like similar Honda models, are relatively quiet generators. They can run in RV parks and other places that most generators wouldn't be allowed. They are often standard issue for many newer models of RVs, and with good reason. They give these motor home owners the ability to have all the conveniences of home such as microwaves, satellite televisions and refrigerators.
The nice part about Onan generators is that they can be run on a variety of different fuels. There are diesel and hybrid diesel models available, ones that run on regular unleaded gasoline, and some that are even propane powered. They are usually connected directly to your RV fuel or propane tank, so there is no need to buy extra fuel separately.
They operate by a remote control, whether integrated into the RV, or with a hand held unit. They are turned on at a touch of a button, extremely convenient if you are stuck in bad weather. They are equipped with energy command controls, which are easily installed, so that you can control a variety of different functions.
Set them to come on when the batteries are running low, or to adjust the power output when dealing with different loads. An example of this is a generator can run at lower speeds when you are just using lights, but kick up a notch when you need to run an air conditioner or microwave. It'll then power down again when these applications are not being used.
Additionally, Cummins Onan has residential models as well. These are quiet just like their RV cousins, but are designed for emergency home use. They are much more sophisticated than a regular standby generator, and resemble an outdoor air conditioning unit.
These models are connected directly to your residential electrical system, and automatically go on and off as needed in a power outage, never leaving you without power. They can be connected to a fuel tank, or even integrated with your natural gas line, if your home uses natural gas.
Their portable generators are used in a variety of different remote applications. Whether you are camping, on a job site, or whatever, there is a model that will supply power for just about any kind of electrical need.
Their marine generators have been a major supplier of yachts and catamarans for many years, providing quality power for major designers like Vripack, as well as others.
Whether you have a yacht, houseboat or a property on some island, Onan can supply you with waterproof generators for regular or even back up power sources. Any of these machines can be purchased directly from the manufacturer, as well as from local and online dealers.
