Everyones situation is different. Some people don't mind setting up a portable. It seems that the times I most want to run a generator, are the times I least want to unload one and string cords. Like when I pull into a walmart lot in Atlanta in August for a quick overnight. Too hot to sleep, too noisy to have the windows all wide open, and the AC won't run on the batteries. Or waking up on a cold snowing morning to the low voltage beeping on the inverter. I'm on the go alot, and don't always set up camp for overnights.
So the built in vs portable debate is already settled for me.
K, that 20 year old Generac sounds like an ongoing project that I do not care to enjoy during the aforementioned environmental conditions, but thank you for the offer.
