Surg,
You may not plan on Boondocking, but drycamping is almost necessary in many cases. The thing is, if you are ready to do that, it opens an amazing number of options. If the trailer battery charges off the Tow Vehicle (TV) and it should, then you won't need the generator for a simple Over Night Park (ONP). You will have lights, water, your reefer and the gas stove. Your bed is right there, as is the euphemism. What more do you need before morning?
Example: You go west along I-94. Late in the day you will be in Hammond (IN). There is a friendly Cabela's there. After asking the manager, park on the west edge of the lot. Other than the casino, there are not many other quiet places to spend the night. This is why being self-contained can be important.
In the morning, have breakfast and fire up. You are now past the south end of Lake Michigan and there are a huge number of open options. Cabela's is just one option. RVparky can lead you to many more.
