Tom French, glad to hear of your 7,500 hour genset. Mine's right at 4,000 so I'll stop being concerned. Before we bought our coach seven years ago, it had maybe 3,600 hours. I thought that was high, so I called Power-Tech and they said they called it their 10,000 hour unit, but with proper care it'd go farther.

My friend & fellow Newell owner Don Freymiller says his refrigerated truck trailers use the same engine as our generators and exceeding 13,000 hours is common.

Newell always uses the best stuff available and it pays off with longevity, given proper maintenance.
