Batteries are expensive and solar is more expensive and you need either solar or electricity to maintain your batteries..
A cheap quality generator is about the same price as two RV batteries add solar and things really get expensive..
You don't already have batteries? You use the small generator to charge your batteries during the day. Many people in small campers have portable solar. See that all the time. Solar panels are not very expensive.. not sure where you got that idea.
I find it much more pleasant to watch tv or a movie by inverter rather than a generator. Plus you don't have to turn it off during quiet hours.
I don't recall too many posts about people who got solar and wish they hadn't. Once the initial cost is absorbed, and the sun is shining, it's free.
