Onan 5500, 1000 hours on mine. Running Great.
And yes, it does run 2 AC units.

Onan.
Every year they get a bit better.
More quieter, less vibration,, better and better.

Do NOT buy a 6K Onan. They are lemons that will not run during heat at anywhere near full capacity. It is known at Onan, so they are building the new 6600 to replace them.
My RV has two factory installed AC units that cannot be run in heat by the factory spec'd generator. They are likely to replace it with a new 6600, and I won't be the first.
Expect to see a LOT of 6K's on the market soon on resale. Nearly new too is my guess.

I have a Generac In my motorhome and I recommend the ONAN.... The Generac is one noisy biatch... nuff said
PS I will say that the Generac WILL run my two AC units though in all weather

For an off brand my Brother in law has a Yamaha and he loves it, its super quite and it runs like a champ. It was less than the Honda's and Onan's. Don't get me wrong, I love my Onan.
