A small in size generator to carry along in a class "C"?

I'm still debating between a class "C" or a "B", but one of the things I want to bring along is a small in size, inverter generator, even though the motorhome will have an Onan onboard. A few reasons...

Years ago, I borrowed a friends Honda 1000W to charge the batteries during a winter camping trip. It was perfect for the situation. Use little gas, was quiet, keep the batteries charged while we ran the furnace in the evening.

So I went out and bought a Yamaha 2000 and it is perfect for use. It keeps the batteries topped up and runs everything (except the AC), quiet, uses 1 tank (1/2 gallon?) of gas per day.

I have since moved over to 300?W solar and rarely use the generator.
