Jeremy,
The idea of moving the generator may sound like a good idea, but I think that the cost would be prohibitive. First you would have to have the opening cut and have the edges of the cutout reinforced and painted. Then the A/C condenser and several air lines would have to be relocated to open up the area. Next the mounting points for the generator slide would have to be fabricated, and since the liquid cooled generator is so heavy, they will have to be very substantial. Then you will have to have the generator removed from the side mount (probably with a forklift) and installed on the slide mount, and extend the wiring and fuel lines to the new location plus installing a new generator exhaust system.
Since the generator will probably never have to be removed if you replace the fan belt (Onan recommended service every 1,000 hours) without removal as I did, there is no way that it is cost effective. Also most Onan shops will still remove the generator for any major service work even if it is on a front slide, so there will be little savings in labor cost.
