After 5 years of ownership I still don't miss having a generator of any sorts. I do have a Yamaha 2800 that will run my AC, but have never even though about trying to make a mount to carry it (would be easy with my fabrication skills).
After 3 years of camping with me in the TC, my wife has dropped her request of microwave and generator in our next camper. She realizes the food I reheat on the stove taste much better than microwave re-heated food.
Yes, we take long multi-week trips. Yes we travel when it is hot but if it's too hot to go without the AC, we stop in a campground that has power. I'm not going to listen to a generator run a long time. Yes, I've had a FW with a generator (actually the Yamaha 2800 I built into it) but only used the generator to run the AC once and that was at a local Jeep show my club was putting on, never on camping trips.
However, if I ever do start carrying one, it will be a portable unit because easier to get it worked on, easier to replace, and can be used in so many more places, and are generally quieter than the built in LP gensets. (It's the one thing I hate about traveling with my father, is his use of his Onan LP genset because it is so loud, though seems quit to him because of his hearing loss).
