On Board Generator vs Portable Generator
We are researching the purchase of a new toy hauler. And one of the options we are struggling with is whether or not to go with a portable generator, or the factory installed generator. Your opinion...

If its a propane generator on board I'd take a portable in a heart beat. The propane tanks you get on a hauler or really any fifth wheel or MH aren't big enough and it is a PIA to take them down and get them filled when you are burning through them with heavy get set useage.
If you have a diesel or gas built in with dual 30 gal tank in the hauler then built is in the way to go. Easy decision. Just match your fuel type to your toys or truck depending on your needs.
Otherwise I'd get the portable. If your going to have to deal with swapping tanks or hauling small gas cans you might as well just deal with the portable and gain the extra storage in the unit. If you have a builtin with the convenience of a large holding tank for the fuel than a built in is the way to go.
