    We ordered our Solitude with the generator prep kit. We did not get a generator. Kept the box in the front compartment. Use it to store the grill, propane bottle, portable campfire inside it . Store extra stuff on top and around it , keep things from moving.

    If you add the gen set, you will need to tie into LP lines on te Solitude and add an exhaust pipe.

    Makes adding a gen set after the fact much cheaper for you.

    For those of you considering the Onan generator. Because I am. And it was going to be the 5550 with LP as fuel. Since it will be done within a couple of months from now I was quoted $6500 plus. Plus the taxes. That includes the labor for hooking it up. I don't know if I have the transfer switch or not and they didn't say. And they never said that the wiring from the inside the coach on the main control panel where you would start it and turn it off, if it has been pre-wired to where the generator would sit in the main front compartment. I would like to do it myself to save a grand but there are some variables that I don't know.
    Would that be a fair price or a little high?

    This is an old thread, so you may not get responses from some that posted. If you have the firebox up front that the Genny sets in, then you have the “Genny prep” package with the control wiring, transfer switch, junction box for 120V wiring, cutouts marked, etc. As long as you buy the generator that the prep job is made for, it’s not a bad job if you have some background in that type of work. Not sure on price.
