Onan Generator hour meter mounting

Bought a new to me 5th wheel camper with a Onan gen set on it . The unit does not have a hour meter on it . I know these can be purchased from several places but do any of you know where to hook up at ? Its basically just a time keeper so any circuit that stays hot while its running will work. But since it does not have a on off switch only a rocker style switch to start it I was just wondering where is a good place to connect it ? Thanks

Mine is built into that start/stop rocker switch. No reason to pull it yet to check out the wiring, but I assume it could be hooked up right there.

Thanks robertleo I would think that rocker switch on the Gen set itself might be just like the one inside. So maybe I could mount it down there an not have to bore a hole in my wall or get another pannel .
