I put a built in Honda generator into my 5er shortly after we bought it new. It has less than 200 hours run time on it.

Runs everything in the trailer
Much more convenient
Trade offs:
Louder than the Hondas
Uses a lot of propane
Wife would rather run an inverter if all we are doing is charging batteries
If I were to do it again, I probably wouldn't install an generator, I'd just go with two inverters and the parallel kits.
