What is "under hood generator"?
I was looking at the road trek website and saw optional "under hood generator". What is this? Is it just a bigger alternator? Are you using the engine as a generator?

These are belt driven 120VAC 60HZ Generators. Alot of emergency vehicles use them...
This one shown is in the 2000WATT to 3000Watt model. Of course you have to be running the truck motor...

Something like this would be good while you are on your road trip and could be running things in your motor home from it etc.. I don't think I would like the idea of just running the truck motor while sitting at a camp ground running one.
I used to have a 1000WATT ARMY SURPLUS model a long time back that was belt driven off a Sears type 5HP upright gas motor. Did pretty good...
This is no different from any other gasoline motor driven generator - just a different application...
