    Pics of the underside of your Garage Generator install - please?

    Hi - I'm getting to install an Onan 5500 in the garage of my 375RES. I know I'll have to cut the coroplast back, but how far? Any pics you could share would be most appreciated!

    There is another cross member just aft of the garage compartment. I removed and then reinstalled the aluminum strip that holds up the coroplast and then cut it back with a razor knife.

    On the front side, when you cut the coroplast back there is a gap of 3/4-1 inch between the front cross member and the outside of the coach - I'll fill that with black foam, but I could have added another aluminum strip and left 2-3 inches of coroplast there as well.

    The dealer installed Onan in my 375 looks just like the pics bcdiesel posted, mine did not come with the generator prep package. You will love having it, mine will run both 15k air conditioners at the same time with no issues. The propane ones are almost maintenance free as well, change the oil about once a year and your good. Enjoy!
