I bought Honda 3000 years ago and it is getting "heavier" when I age, but I can still swing it between my legs when I disconnect it at campgrounds.
At home I have one of those $5 furniture moving cart, so I pull the generator with hitching bars from the receiver straight on the cart and roll it away.
I took on fellow member advise and bought one of those 1000 W inverter generators for those times when I might need to charge the batteries without running AC, but problem with smaller generators is refueling.
The 3000 W generator runs whole day and more on single fill up. Big filling hole and gauge next to it makes it a breeze.
I camp next to 5-er where they used a pair of 2000 and when they left on the boat for couple of hr, one generator died, 2nd overheated something, so they return not only to hot trailer, but also to new project.
In final though, when I won't be able to swing 3000, not likely I will be able to climb to camper bed as well, what will put the end to whole RVing.
But that is still over 50 years away as I plan to live 120 ;)
