Another vote for not selling the portables. My reasoning for not using the on-board while camping is not the noise or the fuel consumption.....it's the Carbon Monoxide. The background level of CO that it produces and that gets into the camper when sitting still is less than enough to make the detector sound out, but more than I want to be in it asleep. On an actual CO meter, it was creating about 12-15PPM inside. Like I said, not enough to set the detector off, but enough to cause long-term health problems. I've added a Gen-Turi and it does reduce the CO levels to below 7ppm, but not enough to where I'm comfortable being in the rig sleeping or just hanging out in general. I do run the on-board genset when underway to keep the house A/Cs running, but there's enough wind blowing the exhaust to keep the CO levels under control. We purchased a Champion 3,500 Watt, dual fuel, inverter generator to use when on the rare occasion we camp without utility availability....like we are doing this weekend. The 30amp RV plug on it will provide enough juice to run one A/C and most everything else we need.
