It should: my RV's 7KW Onan puts out 240V @ 30A quite nicely.
It's a CME7000 gasoline-fuelled unit.
When it comes to generators, the more output (maximum) the better the fuel economy at lower loads. A weaker unit has to run at its limit, thus using more fuel.
There's the added advantage that, if needed, the larger unit can run even more "stuff".
The one in my Newmar was a 7500 Emerald Something Onan. May see if I can pick up a used RV unit. Not crazy about Onan parts prices, but have had good luck with them on Onans, even rebuilding a carb once.

You might want to check with outfits that scrap old Fire/Police trucks, too.
That's the normal use for units like mine: Emergency Services equipment.
Another source might be outfits that maintain oil-field logging/perforating trucks or tour busses.
You're right about the parts prices _but_ they _do_ hold up when properly maintained.
