So how often do you use the generator? Where we live, their use is frowned upon in most campsites, and none of my previous RV's had one and we got by just fine. About the only time I think it would be really useful is to run the A/C on very hot days.Bumpyroad wrote:
all of these "emergency" situations can be handled by a $359.00 champion in the garage. yes a gen set is a convenience. I had one in my three motorhomes, do not have one in my TT. but it seems like the OP has gotten by for years without one. why is it imperative to have one now?

No one is saying it is imperative. The OP asked how often we use ours. We are telling him.
Sorry bump but a cheapo Chinese junker won't help running down the road. If you are lucky someone will steal it when you are at Wally World. :B
there seem to be plenty of threads here where people are satisfied with "some" of those models of Chinese Junk. IIRC some of the Champion models. and the main problem or issue with them has been that they are noisier than a yamaha or honda, but at home in the garage for emergency use, what does that matter. a lot of these posts relate to at home emergencies, not on the road.
