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 ...

Course I have a longbed truck PLUS my 5vr has dual 50A receptacles.
One front and one rear....can plug in shore power cord from either end.
Generator power cord has 50A plug so it can be plugged in either end also.
I also can use generator at home to power S&B during monsoon power outages (fridge/freezer/lights)
Just more versatile for me plus doesn't take up 5vr storage.

Personally, I'd look at putting a cargo rack on the rear of a non-genprepped FW. Enclosure like yours for security and, most likely, a removable exhaust stack to get fumes up and away from the windows. Had a small 1k watt unit on the end of my 50' 30a cord set the alarm off in my FW with the windows open. Surprised hell out of everyone there.
