This is classic RV decision making. Too often we let price factor into our decision vs. just getting what is right for our individual needs.
I have a 5500 built in Onan. It is certainly not the cheapest option.
But it is convenient push button operation...Which is what I wanted.
In the OP's case do you want:convenience,best bang for the buck, maximum power and run time, maximum ability/time to stay off grid? Are you able to lift heavy things and maintain a portable set up?
What is most important to you and you alone? This is really not an at large group decision.
The answer is more about how you intend to use your rig vs. price.
In the RV game it's always cheaper to get it right the first time, but in order to do so your expectations and intentions become critical
