Inverter generators and Onan
There are a lot of threads on here about inverter genny's, and the main positives are quieter and clean power, OK, inverter for clean power, When buying just an inverter the standard everyone goes for...

The better waveform, overall lower fuel consumption, and quieter operation are important on built-in generators. The Onan product line has gone to inverter technology in many of the higher end models. In the lower power range, the RV makers keep installing the old technology and we keep buying them. No competition, cash cow, etc., come to mind. The waveform looks downright nasty with some loads, yet "everything" seems to work just fine with it.
I have a noisy-as-heck built-in microquiet and carry a portable inverter generator. For fast things like running the toaster or microwave, it's hard to beat the convenience of the built-in. For longer term things like battery charging, I use the portable.
