THIS.
We all started somewhere, and I have posts all over this board with the phases of my progress. We did the multiple AGMS and inverter thing, then got our first 2000i, and eventually the 2nd. You just can't beat them for the light weight, noise level, portability, and fuel consumption.
Got you beat on all accounts except weight and it doesn't count, don't need portability. I have a built-in 5500w Onan and a 30 gal gastank. I went thru 2 5ers w/o generators and did what you are talking about. Small inverter generators then a 4500w Yamaha. All were a PITA. I told myself if I ever got another 5er it would be completely self contained and it is. I have between 30 and 60 hours of runtime depending on load and pushbutton convenience.
Different strokes for different folks.
