It really suck when electronic board fails on build-in generator.
Ask me how do I know? And that happen in major US city.
You are not talking about using AC, so I wonder why you want big generator in the first place? With big solars all you need is small back up and even having build-in I was carrying one of those $80 2-cycle generators who was just big enough for micro-oven and battery charging.
I know people who went this direction in 2WD Toyota 4-runner, but they did not have camper, but had a child who celebrated 1-year on the trip.
If turning radius is your big concern, I know Ford switched to coil springs, who cut the radius drastically around 2004, but those Ford come with 6l diesel and I guess you know the deal about them.
The Fords with 7.3 will have bigger radius and I guess Rams from those years will be the same, but why you worry about it so much?
