How about air conditioner, coffee maker and microwave.
leave the microwave at home and learn to realy cook 🤣
seriously though I have the microwave in my 5th wheel, in 10 years the only time we used it was when the grandson was a baby and we had to warm up bottles while we were camping. the coffeemaker and the microwave run off the 2000 watt inverter. I have 480 watts of solar in the 5th wheel but only 4 GC2 batteries for now. heck I even let the kids watch a movie every evening. don't worry much about the A/C as I don't camp in arazona or florada, although it is just as hot here, I only have to drive 20 min to a higher elevation and by bed time it is cool enough for sleeping, and during the day we are outside anyways.
the A/C is realy the only thing you would want a generator for. eveything else can easily be run off a solar and battery setup with out spening as much money as you would have buying that generator. you can do it with solar and batteries but thats when your getting into issues with space for panels depending what you have. panels are dirt cheep right now, about 200 cdn for a 560 watt panel, what is driving me nuts is that drives up the cost of smaller panels as they are not the ones that are being made right now, so trying to find panels for the new camper might cost me a little more.
