Generator storage opinions
My TT has an outdoor kitchen towards the rear of it. It has a slide out induction burner and sink, and a mini fridge. I don’t use the induction burner and barely use the sink. It doesn’t have a drain ...

No conflict with the gen and the fridge. The gen running makes fumes that need to be kept out of the RV. The place where it is needs to be sealed from inside the RV. Otherwise, you can carry it in there, but must take it out and set it down to use it, closing that compartment door.
The big portable gens are too heavy for that, so now look at two smaller gens in parallel if you need that much power.
Next is gasoline to carry for the gen. Where? I carried a Honda 3000 in the truck with the 5er we had. Gassed up the Honda whenever we gassed up the truck. Big gas tank in the Honda 3000 so no need to carry any gas for it. Not the same with smaller gens.
The shore power cord could reach the Honda in the truck if parked close enough. Also extension cords. Not an issue.
You have to compromise depending on the priorities.
All good points. Just to clarify, I don’t intend to run the generator inside the compartment. I only intend to use it to run the AC when stopping at rest stop for a break. My main concern was having a place to put it when at the destination campground besides the bed of the truck. Don’t want it to grow legs when sightseeing, shopping, etc. I wanted to make sure any gas fumes from the tank wouldn’t blow us up when next to the fridge. Now that you mention it, I don’t want gas fumes inside the trailer either, so I will still need to make sure it is sealed up good in the compartment.
