If I need the generator for the coffee, then I've probably already got it on so that the satellite and tv are going for morning weather and news, the induction counter top unit is frying bacon and eggs while the Breville toaster oven is making toast while my beard trimmer is charging... A small generator in my 42' coach would be pretty useless. Most people have other means of making coffee if that is all that you would be using a generator for. I wouldn't carry a generator for the purpose of just making coffee and toast...if the only reason I needed a generator for was to make coffee, I'd rather bring along my handy-dandy Coleman white gas stove and make it on that; even smaller and lighter and it served me quite well for a lot of years of tent camping. My 8 kw generator is very thrifty on fuel, quieter than most portable generators, even my 3 kw Honda, and I can start it and stop it from inside the motor home, rain or shine, and I don't worry about it walking off and I'm not carrying extra weight or taking up space for having a second generator that is easily replaced by my "big" generator. I'll keep my big generator :-)
