The challenge is putting the power back into the batteries. Unless you have a high-end charger installed in your rig, it will probably charge SLOWLY, and a 30 minute generator run won't do much to fill the batteries back up. Read the specs on your charger/converter. If yours is one of the basic ones (i.e., non-programmable to optimize it to your battery bank capacity and battery type), upgrading before your trip could be money very well spent, as it will allow you charge your batteries significantly faster off the generator.
If you plan to boondock/dry camp only every other day, this will probably not be much of an issue as driving to the next spot will charge your batteries back up, as will connecting to shore power.
