The main problem with TTs and FWs ... that motorhomes solve, is where and how do you carry enough fuel in the RV for a built-in generator for use during warm weather drycamping?
Propane is not very good - it's used up too fast running a built-in generator. Diesel is not very good - it's smelly/oily, and diesel built-in generators are often too loud and are heavy. Gasoline can be dangerous to carry around in large enough built-in tanks on TTs and FWs for built-in gas generators to be useful.
Carrying a generator and fuel in the TV is about the only choice, but then you lose A/C in the RV if someone stays behind in warm weather, or if this isn't the case, the RV can warm up to very high hard-to-lower-later interior temperatures while everyone is gone in the TV.
