Generator advice
I'm looking at buying a generator. 95% of what I need it for is charging house battery while dry camping. The other 5% is to run the microwave for hot pockets and pizza for the kids. I borrowed a 2...

The way you use an RV is a very legitimate way to use one.
Fortunately, RV's can be very versatile. For me, my travel trailer
affords me the ability to be with my friends at college football games in the fall. So obviously, we are not looking for peace and quiet. But we do want the ability to cool the interior of the TT when outside in early September, the temperatures are in the upper nineties.
And we like the ability to watch other games on TV when not in the stadium. For these reasons, generators are very necessary tools.
My TT also affords us the ability to take 8900 mile tours to see this great country. In this case, I'm not interested in sitting out under the shade. We're out looking at the sights.
Once we come home, if we haven't eaten while out, we'll just heat up something in the micro (if electricity is available) or quickly heat up something on the stove top. When we've seen what we want to see, we pull up anchor and move to the next place.
So for me, using the RV to go to some remote location to commune with nature is not in the playbook.
Fortunately, RV's are very flexible in their use.

Just a thought. The whole point of camping to me is get away from modern life. Buying a large generator to run a microwave seems odd to me. You can easily make pizza in a Dutch oven on a fire. It is not instant, but it is quiet and you will always have enough fuel. No hookups, no generator, no problem. Teach your kids.
