The generator most coaches are built around. Representative manufacturer image of the range. Enclosure finish, color and dimensions vary by model and configuration — see the specifications below for this unit. 2,800W Dual Fuel (Gasoline / LP) 120/240V · 23.3A 30A Onan is the genset the RV industry standardized on, which has a practical consequence beyond brand preference: parts, filters and service documentation are available everywhere, and any competent RV shop in the country has worked on one. That is worth real money the first time something fails three states from home. At 2,800 watts this unit will run one 13,500 BTU rooftop air conditioner on a soft-start, or the coach without air conditioning. Air conditioning is almost always the deciding load in a coach, and the surge at startup - not the steady draw - is what sets the requirement. Installation into a coach depends on the chassis: whether a generator bay already exists, how the fuel pickup is arranged, and how exhaust is routed. We can quote installation locally, or ship the unit to your shop.

Quantity Delivery from stock to Texas · $150.00 Typically ships in 4-13 days ## Questions about the 2.8HGLEA ### How much is the Onan 2.8HGLEA? $3,436.08 for the genset itself. Installation into a coach is separate and depends entirely on the chassis - whether there is an existing generator bay, how the fuel pickup is arranged, and what the exhaust routing looks like. ### Will the 2.8HGLEA run my RV air conditioning? At 2,800 watts it will run one 13,500 BTU rooftop air conditioner on a soft-start, or the coach without air conditioning. Rooftop air conditioners draw a large surge on startup, so the practical limit is usually the starting load rather than the running load. A soft-start module on the AC changes that math considerably and is often cheaper than moving up a generator size. ### What fuel does the 2.8HGLEA use? Dual Fuel (Gasoline / LP). Dual fuel gives you the flexibility to run from the coach gasoline tank or from an LP bottle, which matters when one of the two is scarce. ### Is the 2.8HGLEA CARB compliant? No. This model is not CARB compliant and cannot be sold new into California or CARB-aligned states. For Texas use that is not a restriction, but it is worth knowing if you may resell the coach across state lines. ## Similar dual fuel (gasoline / lp) gensets ### [Cummins 4.0HGLDA](https://utselectricpros.com/rv-generators/onan-4-0hglda) RV genset · Dual Fuel (Gasoline / LP) Ships to your door Price $4,323.71 Equipment price.
