I would leave it as is.
Yes, it is a biggie to have a built-in over a portable, easy to just fire up at will. I would fire mine up and have AC or power whenever I wanted it, even for a rest stop lunch break, no way I would pull out a portable for such short use. Even if portable was permantly mounted and hooked up I would still have to go out and crank it, nahhh.
Live with what you have and then after a few months you will not need to ask for opinions, you will know that you know.
It is propane so that is good and bad, u need to have a bunch of tanks always, but propane burns a lot more clean that gasoline.
The noise level is all your call.
Being on the camper means vibration and the noise is closer, as opposed to a genny sitting on the ground far away, but it is also much more safe and unlikely to grow legs and walk away being mounted.
