Wow, so much controversy over whether or not you should have a generator.
Pretty straightforward for me. If you ever expect to camp where there are no hookups for more than a night or two, I think you would want one. I carry 2 Honda 2000s because we frequently beach camp and mountain camp where we don't have city electricity. We do have GC battries and a 2000w inverter but will run the generator to recharge our battery bank every other day or so. Plus, we will run them together if we need the A/C or microwave.
Even if we know we are on a trip which will be mostly in campgrounds with hookups we bring them in case we stop along the way and want to leave the dog in the trailer and it's hot out so we can run the A/C for her.
Bottom line is, for us, we use them on a regular basis and wouldn't want to go out without them.
I have a custom made rack to carry them.
