How many hours on your Generator ?
Just curious to see what's the common or ave hours on any particular Gen weather its in your MH TT or portable one you use camping? We bought a used 2001 GS in Nov. of 2012 and the gen only had 37...

When we sold our previous camper, the gen had about 110-hours, after 12-years of use. The gen in our current rig has around 10-15 hours after 2-years. Living in the desert, it gets fired up to run the a/c when it's hot outside (6-months of the year) and when we use the microwave. We love having the power source available with the click of a button.
Looking at how we use our generator, we're not shy about using it, but find we don't really "need" to use it too often. This gets me curious about what other rv'ers power with their gens. During several camping trips, we have run across folks that run their gens for hour and hours. In fact, on my most recent trip, a fellow rv'er had his running from the time I arrived (around 2pm), until quiet hours, from 10pm-6am, Then, it started running from 6am and was still going when I rolled out around noon. The weather was moderate - no a/c needed during the day and only heat at night.
Fortunately, we were all spread far apart, so the noise wasn't an issue, but I'm just curious what devices are being powered that require a gen to run so long. What are your experiences?
