Generator or not??
I've been tent camping since I was a kid. The past few years, I've been using my dad's Jayco Eagle Travel Trailer. We always go to campgrounds, usually state parks, with at least basic hookups (elec and water). Now that I have my own family and the kids are getting bigger, I'm looking for my own camper and, since I'd like to be able to take my bike along sometimes, I'm looking at toy haulers.
With regards to generators, I cannot see any need for one for how I camp 99.999% of the time. It would likely just sit, the gas would get old, and if I ever did need it, it wouldn't run right anyways. And looking at the costs of the built-in ones, I'm leaning away from getting one. On the other hand, if I had one, I might be tempted to do more of that sort of camping. I already have a portable Honda generator at home (that cost about 20% of the Onan's). So for the rare occasion that I ever do go camping out in the boonies somewhere, I could take it.
Would I be making a big mistake in not getting a built-in generator?
