The Cummins Onan 5.5HGJAB-1270 QG is a robust 5,500-watt propane-powered generator engineered for RV owners who demand consistent, quiet, and efficient power on the road. Ideal for large motorhomes, fifth wheels, and travel trailers, this generator is built for high performance while maintaining quiet operation-perfect for powering multiple appliances and air conditioning units simultaneously.
Built with Quiet Gasoline™ technology, the generator operates at a sound level of 69 dB(A) at 10 feet under half load, ensuring compliance with the National Park Service sound level requirement of 60 dB(A) at 50 feet. The fully enclosed muffler and sound-attenuated housing reduce noise levels, making this generator an excellent option for use in campgrounds and other noise-sensitive environments.
The digital voltage regulation system ensures steady, reliable power delivery, protecting sensitive electronics like laptops, televisions, and entertainment systems. This model is capable of running two 15,000 BTU air conditioners simultaneously while leaving room for additional appliances such as microwaves and refrigerators.
Featuring a 4-cycle OHV V-twin engine with a pressurized thru-flow cooling system, the generator is designed for durability and fuel efficiency. It consumes approximately 0.8 gallons of propane per hour at half load, making it an energy-efficient solution for extended road trips. Despite its powerful output, the unit is compact, weighing 288 lbs (131 kg), allowing for easy installation in a variety of RV configurations.
Compliant with CARB Tier 3 and EPA Phase 3 emissions standards, the 5.5HGJAB-1270 QG meets environmental regulations across all 50 states. Additionally, the unit features a remote start/stop connector, allowing for convenient operation from inside the RV, while its automatic choke ensures smooth starts in various weather conditions.
Safety and reliability are paramount with this model, as it includes overload protection, low oil pressure shutdown, over/under-speed protection, and a positive fuel shutoff system to ensure stable operation even under heavy loads.
