The December issue of the GMC motorhome news has an article on the
replacement cinnabar has selected for replacement. They claim they looked at
all of the new generators and selected this one because it fits perfectly in
the space, puts out 6.6KW, does not shake or vibrate and all service points
are located up front so it does not have to be slid oout of the cavity. It
is the Genarac NP66G. From the pictures provided it has a large mufler
mounted underneath the coach and should be very quiet. Good thing about it
is that oil filters etc are available at walmart. price at cinnabar is
$2849. At this site they are $2595

The compact, highly advance NP-50G and NP-66G gensets feature Generac's
exclusive GN-360 and GN-480 OHV engines, which provide about 25% less fuel
consumption that competitive units. And 25% less oil consumption. Combine
Generac's OHV engine technology with the field-proven, belt-drive power
train and the result is superior air conditioner motor starting, and up to
20% weight reduction compared to competitive Mobile generators. Customers
like best the up front serviceability. Routine maintenance items such as
plugs, air and oil filters are conveniently positioned for easy access.
Additional advantages include greatly reduced vibration and 30% engine sound
reduction over competitive units. Fits in compartment - minimum size -
17.5"Hx26"Wx19"D.
NP-50G - $2095.00 NP-66G - $2595.00
I like this one better and it fits in the same space as the NP66G, and for
the same price.
Generac's new premium HIGHLINE Q-Series gensets achieve the highest levels
of engineering refinement and quiet quality. Q-Series gensets combine
advance technologies with distinctively powerful OHV engines. These higher
horsepower engines deliver more kilowatts of electricity at significantly
lower rpm's. Thus sounds level and vibration are reduced far below
competitive standards.
The Q-55G and Q-70G are specially designed for top-of-the-line coaches.
With plenty of power to spare, these gensets fit conveniently into the same
compact space as the NP-50G and NP-66G. Higher wattage output and even lower
sound levels are achieved without the inconvenience of specialized
installation requirements.
Lower rpm's, special laminated housing, anti-vibration mounting system,
quieter engines: all these innovations contribute to noise-free comfort.
Research shows that when a coach is parked, the generator produces sound
waves that reverberate back from the ground below. In response to this
finding, a special sound deadening material is designed beneath the
generator to reduce sound wave penetration. Maybe a small measure, but it
illustrates the dedication of Generac engineers to deliver the very best in
HIGHLINE quality and comfort.
Q-Series generators set the highest standards ever achieved for quiet,
reliable performance. For top-of-the-line coaches with special power
requirements, only Generac HIGHLINE Q-Series gensets offer comfort and
quality that you will appreciate, but never hear. Fits in compartment -
minimum size - 17.5"Hx26"Wx19"D.
Q-55G - $2095.00 Q-70G - $2795.00
Hope this helps
