How many of you are happy with a NO GENI 5th wheel trailer?

I have a gen for boondocking BUT it is NOT installed in 5th wheel

Factory 5th wheel gen is in front compartment (under bedroom) or on the roadside basement compartment area (again under bedroom)
No thanks!
Noise, vibration, exhaust.


My 4kw gen is in forward area of my long bed truck in its own enclosed gen box that has its own fuel tank and is insulated. Plus air intake and exhaust are designed to provide sufficient cooling air, air for combustion and quiet exhaust

I have 2 50A twist style receptacles .....OEM rear and an added one forward under overhang.

I can plug gen into either one depending on parking situation OR into front one while in transit so rig is cooled down when we arrive

Manual transfer switching with inter-locked 50A circuit breakers (one one set can be closed at a time.....power only from one receptacle)


Factory option..........not necessary


Course good solar system...panels/batteries and one can also go 'gen-less'

Noise - Can't hear mine

vibration - There isn't enough to feel

exhaust - Genturi when in crowded campgrounds. Never been a problem.
