Securing generator while running
How are you guys keeping your generators from walking off while running them next to your rv? I'd like to keep ac on while doing other activities away from the camper. We just purchased a Honda 3200i ...

These are all great suggestions or discussion, but what am I missing about the obvious solution….
Use your onboard generator.
Not sure where you camp that backup generator to the generator is necessary. But anywhere I’d even consider that to be possibly needed would be a VERY remote location which in itself is good site security.
But in the absence of removing the temptation from the equation, the proverbial big ole logging chain and big ole pad lock is your best bet.
Like Michael posted above, most bike lock type cables even the expensive ones aren’t that big nor very hard steel and can be picked away at and cut with small hand tools fairly quickly.
Step up to a real chain like 3/8 Gr 80 or heavier or heavy rigging cable choker if you want to eliminate the tweakers who aren’t even smart enough to have stolen a cordless grinder yet…
What I can tell you is a shiny red Honda 3k genny is right up there with F250s and Toyota Camrys on the tweakers Christmas lists. Unlike some of the rvnet folks who sit around here and say how the cheap china gennys are so great and just as good as Hondas, the “pros”, those who are powering homeless encampments and/or hocking them at pawn shops 100% realize the additional value of obtaining a quality generator…lol.
