Go with the genny and one quality battery. Fuel is easy to carry and it's cheap. The new gennys are fuel efficient and produce all the power you need, for what ever length of time you use it.
You should look into a better battery charger also. You could later add in a solar kit to help offset charging.

And noisy, smelly, and banned a bunch of places :), not to mention carrying fuel if it is not a built in, and exercising it.
Unless you need air conditioning, it has gotten fairly easy to have all the rest of the powered amenities without running a generator. Our rarely use Onan has gone on to a new home, and we have never missed it for a second or had an occasion that we couldn't run what we wanted.
Most truck stops allow inverter generators. I'm going to be running air conditioning, so I'm going to need a gen for that. I will try to run most of my other stuff off battery.
