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.
