What is a good one?.Does any manufactures have them already in the trailer?
IMO, the 2 biggest downsides to the Onan on-board generators is that they are straight generators and either run at idle with no load, or full speed with even the lightest load on them. Couple with LP fuel, and you can go through a =lot= of fuel in a short time. Not worth it, to me. I'd much rather have an inverter generator, that produces 110v as long as it's running, and tailor its speed for the load demand. MUCH more efficient, whether gas, LP or diesel (yes, there are a couple out there). With my current FW, I seriously contemplated putting a heavy cargo rack on the back end and adding a 3000 watt inverter generator in a box back there. Remote start and will run a long time on a fill up.
