Ever been relaxing in campsite listening to nature etc. and a big RV pulls up with that generator exhaust pointed out by the front wheel but right at your campsite?

Just wondering, why do you not carry a genny? I am looking into solar and a generator.

I do have 300w inverter for small stuff connected to all outlets and a 2000w inverter for microwave and short use of any high draw items.
If it will be roasting hot I am headed for hookups. Otherwise we will sweat it out. Last thing I want to do is run a generator 24/7 and hang out inside the RV. Cool down just at night is probably after generator hours.
This works fine for our small family on trips of 2 to 3 weeks. Actually DW prefers hookups but sometimes I don't even plug in :R
If I was full time it would be different as I would probably have a different (larger) RV. Most of the same stuff still applies to minimize generator run time.
