We prefer boondocking, we have plenty of solar, couple pairs of golfcart batteries, extremely quick Iota IQ4 smart charging converter, alas without a genny we are just playing games. Wouldn't go RVing without one, prefer Onans as we like to be able to run our rig as if connected to shorepower, no power scrimping here, why have an RV if you can't use all the amenities onboard wherever you are.
Onans are wonderful but overkill for most situations. We needed something to occasionally give our onboard genny a break, something powerful enough to run at least a single RV AC unit, fuel efficient and quiet with inverter technology. Most of all it had to have remote start to mimic Onan ease of operation, the answer for us was the Champion 3100 inverter genny, after 5 years our answer to you is Champion.
Approaching 600 hours it has never failed to give us the power we need, high elevations, single or triple digit temps it just doesn't matter. Very easy to work on and maintain, plenty of parts availability, friendly customer service, and 3 year warranty made it a no brainer for us. Had cause to contact Champion for a high elevation jet as we primarily camp above 7K', a few days later it was at our doorstep.
