Yay Generator is here... Boo more work!

So apparently buying a 40something motorcoach makes lots of things on it old and hard to find. Or discontinued - in this case the generator that fits the space designed for it. The previous owner took out the generator. So after our test outing with no power camping in Florida Summer, we were motivated to get power. Also, the AC doesn't work while driving and the driver wants some cooling. We do have solar power, so we can run fans but when it's humid and hot, it's not a happy camper place.

So after scouring craigslist nationally, and some quick dealmaking we have this:

Honda EV4010
Like everything old, there's a story. It used to be in someone's hunting cabin, which they have now sold and didn't need anymore. So not used very much, but also has been sitting. Needs work. On the bright side, it was less than half of current prices for one. So a certain mechanically inclined someone will need to rebuild it. And we're not even sure how it mounts in the frame or if the frame is there or what.
