Just a couple of thoughts:
Would not want to spend money on a generator that I could not use everywhere, some places will not allow that type generator.
Sometimes I have to buy used to get what I need.
Second, everyone wants to have a good camping experience, you and those around you. The enjoyableness of the trip I have is in big part dictated by those around us. We have left home excited about a trip, can't wait to get there, but have neighbors that make to much noise, to loud music, argue and fight, etc. My weekend is ruined because of those around me. In turn I don't want to do things that would cause anyone else to have a bad experience. Maybe I'm wrong but feel most who read these forums try and do the right thing, its mostly those who don't read and try and learn who cause the problems.
