Answer those questions and you'll easily figure out if you need to carry a genset as a backup or not (or whether you even need one). For me, I answered those questions and realized that I have no need at all for a generator.
There's the difference in RV camping philosophies right there!
For some of us those are not questions to be answered ... they're chances to be taken. Playing the odds is always that way.
As for us, considering what an RV costs and how valuable traveling adventures are as "one gets older" ... why not add in a few camping items to up the odds that the RV experience will, in every situation you can think of, deliver all the self-containment comfort that you thought you paid for? Life is getting too short to not do that.
Remember ... we're from California ... so we have to head out on every trip with the thought in the back of our minds that the BIG ONE could hit and strand us somewhere in the RV such that a generator or two might be well worth it (along with other backup provisions that we always carry in our rig). ;)
