Man, I must be the exception. My 2012 AF1150 came with the onan 2.5kw onboard, and I love it. It starts with the push of a button from inside the coach, and seems to use very little propane. I spent the entire weekend out at my ranch in Nacogdoches Texas recently. Got there late friday afternoon, left late sunday evening. Ran the air conditioner non stop, day and night (it's 100 degrees and humid). I didn't even use up the 2 bottles that are standard. I figure it was less than 30 bucks propane for the whole weekend. Not bad.
Your not the exception, I LOVE mine too. :)
This forum is full of fiddle-phukers that like to over-think stuff ALOT!
The onboard genset is way more convenient then dealing with gasoline, anti-theft devices, cords, etc.
Plus, if you buy used, when you sell your camper, you will definitely get MORE money for it. Let the original buyer take the depreciation and you get the benefits.
