Question about Generators and boon docking

The more I thought about this the more I thought I should ask.

Just returned from our first boon docking trip on a generator. I know the led lights, bathroom fan, radio, etc. are all 12V and draw from the battery. When you have a generator on do they draw from the generator power, or from the inverter (I think that's the term) which is powered by the generator? If you have a lot of led's and the radio on - would that cause any kind of significant draw on the generator?

thanks

Specifically to your question, the answer is no.

However, add the microwave, roof AC, and a blow-dryer to dry hair, or a vacuum cleaner? Then the answer is yes. You'll throw circuit breakers - regardless whether using either the generator, or, shore power using the 30AMP cord.
