I don't think the current system is what Mother Nature intended. BTW, we didn't use a generator, only solar. Everyone is pushing solar, why aren't more rvers who are interested in nature turning to solar?
We're nature oriented motorhome owners ... the DW even was a Natural Science major for her degree. We're also rockhounds and boondock camp a lot, so our RV generators are not an issue for non-existent neighboring campers.
So far we don't have solar in our RV for at least six reasons:
1) We don't want any more holes in our roof than are there already.
2) We can't afford the foldup-and-store-in-a-drawer portable solar panels we would prefer (over $600 each).
3) The sun is not always available when we want it.
4) We years ago had given to us for battery charging one of the world's quietest small generators that is a relatively rare one that hasn't been available for purchase for years.
5) We're short-stay campers so our RV's battery bank gets fully charged by the alternator between campsites.
6) We need air conditioning to be comfortable in the desert, so we must have a larger generator along anyway.
