We do it all the time. And in any weather.
I bring 4 extra propane tanks, 16 water jugs, and 55 gallons of gas. I have a 5 cubic ft. freezer on the rear rack of the TT. We have two Honda EU2000s, we only use one at a time (usually) but a backup is a necessity in case one fails on a trip.
We chose our TT specifically because in has two 42 gallon grey tanks and two 42 gallon black tanks.
We can live it up in style in just about any weather from subzero to over 110 degrees ice snow etc. we just ride it out. The freezer gives us many more options for what food we can bring. Pizzas, wings, small turkeys, roasts etc.
We do manage our generator power differently than most here... Rather than run off the batteries at night when the furnace is putting a whupping on the batteries, we run our generator all night. We awake with fully charged batteries that can easily get us thru the day.
Doing this allows us to run a dehumidifier and seal the TT up tight to reduce propane use.
Nice post .... you're set up to do it right night or day, rain or shine! Now .... if only one could achieve what you do in only a 24 to 26 foot total rig length.
I especially like your approach of running your generator in the evening/night when the furnace electrical load might be high during cooler outside temps.
We don't carry a dehumidifier along for maximum flexibility ... but sure wished we had one with us once when camping in the Deep South in August. We managed to accomplish the affect of a dehumidifier then by running both a heater and the air conditioner. Be balanced the temperature settings on each one just right so that we attained both the right temperature at the right humidity.
