Suggestions to run the small Honda gen for bigger things and just get a small inverter make sense unless you have generator hours at your park that don't work for when you want to use the big things.
eg, BC provincial parks allow gens between 9-11am and 6-8pm. So if you want real toast (instead of that lame and nasty bread-burner rack for the propane stove) for breakfast at 7am, now what? That's where the bigger inverter comes in so you can run your toaster for three minutes drawing 90amps from your battery bank.
In winter it is dark by 6pm too, so who wants to go outside in the dark and play generator? In the rain. What if you want to make supper at 5pm and want to use the microwave? This is what the inverter is good for.
You just run the gen at a more convenient, allowed time to recharge the batteries. The big inverter means you are free to do what you want when you want. Of course it is necessary to rig your RV so you can do that, which may or may not be 'worth it' depending on how you like to RV.
