my opinion on generators? carry a portable. $1000 puts you in a honda 2000 that will power my 9600btu AC.
Advantages: only carry it when you need it. Real quiet. no vibration introduced into coach. you can use it away from the RV if you want. It don't use up all your propane.
disadvantages: got to go outside and pull cord to start. someone might steal it. got to carry gas for it.
someone else on here said the money it cost to buy a generator will buy you a whole lot of solar. But not sure if solar is up to running an AC for the day.
