The Onan failure is probably a Bridge Rectifier failure. They typically fail while turning off the Onan while the AC (or some other heavy duty AC motor) is running. A voltage transit (called inductive kickback) usually causes the failure.
The OEM Bridge rectifiers are operating very near to their Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV) rating. A simple solution is to replace the bridge rectifier with one having a much higher rating. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
