The removal and replacement of one in a diesel pusher is a difficult process....I've done many over the years. On a Toter it's usually not so bad.....compartment mounted somewhere on the side...usually

It would not be hard to get to $2 grand or more...I generally do a complete service and change some parts known to fail while I'm in there.

The flex pipe coming off the engine breaks on those.

The flex pipe alone is well over $200...

External pipes are usually custom made or made from Onan pipes readily available.....

Thanks, Rich! I completely understand that you can't tell much without seeing it.

Mine is in a side compartment but it doesn't slide out. When you mention the flex pipe breaking, I almost assume without looking that I have that issue. All I know is that I have an exhaust leak of some type. I smell a lot of fumes even with my stack hooked up.

I very rarely run the thing unless I need A/C. It would be a lot cheaper on cash outlay and in fuel for me to get another 2000 watt inverter generator and run it as a companion with the one I have. That's what I run my stuff on during a normal race day.

The Onan has something like 5600 hours on it, so may not be worth sinking a bunch into but it works when I need it.

Anyway, thanks again!
