I'm going in earyly Oct to a state park not far away, that has no hook ups of any kind. I've been kicking around the idea of getting either a second battery or a generator so I'll have the 110 when/if I need it. A local retailer has a Champion 1400/1800 on sale right now for 179.
I personally wouldn't waste the $$$ on junk like this but instead invest in a second battery along with a good stand alone deep cycle battery charger which every RV owner (arguably) should own anyway. Even in parks with "no hook ups" there is often somewhere that does have power - the gate house, bath house, campground store, etc - and if not there's usually a nearby town where you could drop your depleted battery, the charger, and a few $$ to a store or gas station attendant to let you re-charge the battery for a few hours. I did this in Yellowstone NP, there's little reason it can't be done in most other situations other than camping in the desert 100 miles from the nearest signs of life. ;)
