Drive to the gas station? My RV has a 200 gallon tank so I can run the genny for quite some time before needing to refill. At 1 gallon per hour (or less) you have more than a week, running 24/7, before you need more fuel. I can testify to this as Janet and I went to the New Orleans area after hurricane Katrina. We had one stint where the generator ran for 9 days straight as no campsites were available (dump and fill at the Flying J!). We paid the unbelievable price of $3.19/gallon so we could do what we were doing. Dry camping folks and bookdocking folks seem to have very different ideas about what camping without hookups mean but, in reality, it's all the same stuff with different objectives.
