Barney I'm glad to read you enjoyed my post...:)
I am certainly a convenience user. I may occasionally boondock at a marina or in a backyard. But in general I don't hunker down remote areas for extended periods.
I can see where a single 2000 watt inverter may be nice to charge batteries and provide basic power if you are staying off the grid for a few days or weeks.
I will add lp gensets are less efficient than gas models can burn a lot of propane vs. gas or diesel models. However propane burns clean. As a result lp gensets are very reliable and do not suffer from carb. and stale fuel issue that plague gasoline powered gensets.
I also prefer the genset to stay with the RV vs. being in the truck.
If the truck leaves the power leaves. If my truck needs repair I can stay comfortably in the RV almost wherever I am, for as long as I need to because the RV has its own power onboard vs. being in the truck.
This also allows me to leave the dog in the RV with air conditioning, If the truck needs to leave.
As we all know there are lots of genset options. I am solidly in the on board convenience camp simply because I don't want to haul/handle anything. I have enough camping chores and duties that I don't want to add portable gensets chores to my task.
I have BTDT with portables. I enjoyed the portable power. I did not enjoy the work required to have that power.
Now with my onboard I can enjoy the power without any additional work.
