Where is the Generator in your Bus Located?

I put my onan qd7500 in the spare tire compartment,  wasn't easy but made it work and it doesn't take up valuable bay space. Jason

On my GM-06 I rebuild the bay behind the driver side front wheel. The radiator vents out between the front wheels. Sound proofed per a Dick Wright's seminar.  8 K diesel from Dick.

We were at a Bus Conversion get together at the Grand Canyon Caverns in Az a few years ago before hook ups were installed. We had to run our generator during the day since it was a bit warm. I remember there was an Eagle near us with his Diesel generator mounted next to his engine on the right side where the A/C used to be but not sound proofed at all. My wife and I were taking a break watching TV in the back of our bus with two A/C's running, the generator running and I could still hear that other open Diesel generator running next door! Bottom line-there is no such thing as a too quiet generator. And especially some of our older gentlemen with less than perfect hearing, we do hear loud generators just fine. Good Luck, TomC

Generac 7.5kW in front bay on driver side.

Front bay, driver's side, Power Tech 20KW, Just now got it running, still working on soundproofing.

Definitely over kill for my uses, the deal and circumstance I got was just too good to pass up.

I had originally planned on an 8KW.

My 12 kw Kubota is in the bay just behind the front driver side tire. It's the bay with the mesh door. It has openings in the floor too. I have the coolant hoses running to the front spare tire compartment where I'll be installing the radiator and fan. The problem is... I have yet to finish it, so how well it works has yet been determined. Too many other projects in front of it.
