Our first Onan was a 5500 carb circa 2001 and when it wasn't exercised regularly the carb would have to be replaced to the tune of $225, twice in 10 years. The fuel pump also failed and it was around $40.
Our last two Onan's have been the quiet diesel and although regular exercise is still recommended they don't suffer from the same service needs.
Our thought is that a 5500 fuel injected would be the better choice over the long term.
