Anybody I've known with a built in generator has had nothing but problems with it.
You don't technically know the folks here, but there are plenty of us who have had zero problems with our built in generators. ;) There are definitely advantages of both which is why I've been on the fence of buying a gasoline powered generator as well! My unit came with a builtin, so that's why I have one.
The biggest problem is deciding if I want to just buy a second generator ... a Honda 2000 or not. Seems like it would be big enough for the most part. Sure, I wouldn't be able to run everything at once, but I rarely run the builtin to run the AC in any case.
Still, for quick stops on the side of the road to run a microwave or coffee maker for a couple of minutes, the builtin is awfully convenient.
