It seems as though most folks are discussing portable generators. Have a couple of questions:

Are there Travel Trailers or 5th Wheels that can come with ONBOARD generators similar to what are in Motorhomes? Do many of the dealers now offer that option with new units?

Are most TT's wired and plumbed for a generator even though they might not have one?

Is there an Inverter or a series of them that will run an RV AC? This may be an implausible question. However, I have never claimed to be a technician.

I'm quite sure that most RV owners, in Florida or Arizona, don't want an RV that does not have AC capability off the grid.

The only TTs I am aware of that have a generator option is Arctic Fox/Nash.
Those are propane generators.

I installed a 4.0 Onan Microquiet and a 26 gallon fuel tank in my last TT. It worked great. I never lacked for power, and could run the AC while under tow.

But.... It was a BIG project, and unless one has advanced DIY skills, it would cost far too much to pay to have it done.

I elected not to do that to my present TT.
The advent of portable inverter generators make it so easy to have electricity at an economical rate, that the onboard generators have lost their appeal for me.

For some reason, inverter technology hasn't made the jump to the built in units.
