Generator Installed or Seperate
My wife and I are going to a 5th wheel. Were not sure whether to have a gen installed at purchase or buy one separately. Were going to go full time for a while. What have you all found to be the best ...

I installed an onboard propane generator. (didn't want to carry gas can)
during one of our recent trips, it was 96 degrees (feels like 102) when we pulled into the campground at 9 pm. I fired up the gen (with managers approval) and turned on the A/C while we waited to register, pulled to our site, and got setup.. soon as the shore power was connected, I turned off the generator. A/C kept running.
thxs to Dbbls, I forgot that I started the gen to be able to use the microwave during a lunch break stop at a rest area.
I also have the wireless controller for autostart.. haven't used it for that yet.
My FW was not gen prepped, another reason I selected the wireless controller. I found a used, not working 7kw gas genset for $200, repaired it ($45), converted it to propane.
