Generator belt change?
« on: July 15, 2015, 12:34:04 AM »
I have an Onan 7500QD diesel genset in our 2001 Beaver Contessa.

It is a fixed mounted unit in the left rear of the coach.

Is the belt assessable to replace or does the genset have to be lowered to get the required panels removed to do it?

I've done all the servicing except for the belt already.

Thanks in advance .......LaMonte

LaMonte,
I had to have the unit removed on my 01 Contessa as IMHO there wasn't enough room to work behind the unit. On my current 00 Marquis I could service the belt because the geni is mounted amidship so putting out the slide yields some room to work on it.
