Our AF1140 has a built-in Onan QG 2500 LP genset. It was loud and obnoxious in factory trim, so I purchased sound deadening material, vibration dampening mats, and a tractor muffler, and redid the installation to my standards. It's notably quieter and shakes the camper far less now. With the mods, it sounds more like the QG 5500 LP in our fifth wheel.
I abhor generators and try to run off solar/battery as much as possible, but like onboard generators because I can tie them into my Victron GX devices for automatic operation based on a variety of parameters. I want to be able to leave for the day and know that if for some reason our batteries don't make it the entire time we're gone, the generator will kick on and charge them. Especially when running air conditioning for the dogs (note: we do have environmental monitoring that sends SMS alerts of power failures, temperature anomalies, etc for our pet's safety).
