The bigger you go in generator, the more surge watts you get.
I have an open frame 240/120 volt generator that is 5,500 running and like 7,200 surge watts.
I'm not suggesting to use an open frame, just trying to illustrate that a 5,500 watt genny has some potential.
I assume your Onan is 120 volt only which gives you all power on one leg. (My open frame 5,500 is 240/120 so it has two legs... which means only 22 amps per leg. Mine could not do what yours does. It is one reason why people need to understand when genny shopping.)
