Don't think you need a generator?
We've been on the road FT for 2 years, and other than a monthly run, have really not used our generator - until this weekend. We've been in our current park in NY for almost a week, and all was fine, ...

It was 105 degrees here on the lake northeast of Dallas on Saturday at 1 pm when the power went out.
Not the COE campground fault - a power line went down and the entire north shore of the lake was off-line. Power didn't come back on for 12 hours.
Really, really wished I had bought that generator last week.
Since it is a 30amp CG, the single AC could only keep the TT down to about 88-90 degrees, which was much better than outside.
With the power off, the internal TT temp hit 112 before it started to cool down to about 103 at midnight while we were trying to sleep.
Since low temps are above 80 around here, it never cools off much in the summer.
40 years ago - nobody went camping when temps were this high. We did out camping in April, May, early June, late September, October and November.
AC extended the camping season to include the previously forbidden months of July and August.

OR, you could just suck it up and do what you did 40 years ago. Remember when all you needed was an open window or 2 and maybe a fan?
