How about some ideas and pics of some of the modifications we have done. Most recent for me is the rv sure steps (Thanks to George Henry)Pretty cool looking at night. Also put a 2nd genset switch in the dash area.I notice on some of 2007 models its standard.I will post some pics soon of these and other neat stuff!

Frankie, A 2nd genset switch is exactly what I need on my Damon Daybreak. Mine is to the left of the steering column. Great for when I'm driving but NOT good in the morning when my son is sleeping in the hide a bed and his GF on the jack knife sofa. I have to climb over them to start the generator and start the coffee.
Please tell me what you had to buy and how difficult of a job it was. Did you have to order the 2nd switch from Onan? Did you have to cut wires to tap into the first switch?

I have a Generac, but it doesnt matter. Easy run of wires.I did buy the switch plate and connectors from generac,but you can splice a switch right in yourself.I used the new harness because it came with the primer button(the factory switch didnt Confused)then I spliced the right wires were they belong.I think I am starting to get a knack for this wiring thing.

You know I have one and it works great. You can purchase a Dirt Devil Central Vac from one of the least expensive RV sources on the Internet called "RV Upgrades" the major sponsor of iRV2.com.

Underneath to the right of the sink is were it is installed by factory.There is power there , but running a 120vac is not a lot of work if needed.
