Attaching generator to travel trailer
I'm getting ready for a summer trip out west, 6-8 week duration. Want to ask if anyone has a good method of attaching a 3-4kw generator to their travel trailer. Thanks for your advise. Steve

Without knowledge of TT or generator you speak of it is difficult to give suggestions, but I have seen some TTs with generators mounted on a rack on the rear of the rig and even some where they have enough room on the tongue for a small generator.
I think most TT owners either use their truck beds or TT exterior storage compartments to carry their generators. It boils down to what type of generator you plan to carry that delivers the 3-4KW you stated. Inverter generators are much lighter and easier to stow than their non-inverter counterparts.
Fuel is another issue when bringing along a generator, and if you need to feed your TT 3-4KW for extended periods you will be going through a lot of gas. A generator and the gas to feed it is a lot of weight to be placed on tongue or rear of any TT unless they are modified to handle it. Hope you have a great time on your trip out west!!!
