it does seam like a lot of work, but for the price of a generator you could pay some one to put up about 600 watts of solar and a controler, that sounds pretty easy to me. its the conveniance fo not having to haul the genny and fuel around, or listen to the noisy things that is priceless.
I dont even bring the generator nowadays.
I haven't used a generator ever, I was always limited by my battery capacity and would have like four 6V batteries on a 28 foot trailer so I could go a week in the summer. for the last 10 years I have had solar on my 5th wheel and only once did I wish I had a generator but that we during a heat dome a few years back where it was getting to 48C. I am in the mountians so by 1 am it was cool enough to go to bed and I survived. haha
