Interesting, with an Allison, I assume. Wonder how many of those they made?

It's this guys fault for distracting this thread ................Sorry, my bad.
Easy on guys, trust me I'll need all of your advice and know-how in the coming days and weeks. Nobody and I mean NOBODY is resigning anytime soon!
Now everyone and go back to their corner of the sandbox.

Here is a manual for servicing a Generac generator. Generac Diagnostic & Repair manual
My Argosy came with a 4k generac but I'm replacing it with an Onan 6.5 which runs at 1800 rpm instead of the 2400 rpm of the generac.
My guess is Generac's were only installed in the Argosy motorhomes so this may not be of value to many us but what the heck, here it is

One more for the day.
Here is a link to the 310 (325 & 345) Owners Manual.
This is the copy that came with our 310.

I don't check my "reads", and after 250 thousand miles of full-timing could give a rat about someone's opinion of me.

I would use the word awesome and unique and that includes you, Dean.
After being absent for many years, I was pleasantly surprised to see all these individuals and combined experience the Motorhome Forum membership has evolved to since we made the suggestion to start it in 2001.
There is one thing we all have in common, owning and maintaining one of this Classics: a strong personality with relentless determination.
Keep up the good work and continue sharing it!

Well said, but I'm out of here thanks to "Dad's Toy", which is fitting for his childish behavior. I don't need a diatribe like his when all I ever tried to do was help and inform.

2nd airconditioner hook up
I installed this system 7 years ago, still works great. Power solutions has gone out of business and therefore you can not order the parts from them, but all of the parts can be substituted with male and female recepticles. The system allows both air units to run when attached to shore power. Attached are the manuals for installation and wiring.

It looks like they're still in business, but have changed their name. I found a kit on E-Bay for around $1000.00. My problem with the 310, is the rear curbside closet would have to come out to reach the gen-set transfer box.

I know the Classic 360 came out in 1994. I wonder if AS spent that time making nothing except trailers and re-tooling for the 360?

I will add a link to Freds Airstream Archive to the sticky...
It is always my Go-To place for questions like this, and others like your Diesel question Mike. Whilst its not completely accurate, its the best there is out there!
Thanks Fred!
Fred's Airstream Archives @ View RV's .com - 1992 Airstream Class A Motorhomes
According to the year listings there, I see the last 345 in 1990..
Now, from 1990 through 1993 there are 350LE's in evidence, that is a 35' old body style... and the my guess is they rebadged the 345 as a 350 by measuring it to the bumber over-riders, or something...
I very much doubt they retooled for 2 years of production!
The later style slant nose aluminim Motorhomes started in 1993, and the last one on the archive is listed as a 360 in 1997.
