How long are you planning on running the generator?
Will you be somewhere where the weather will be cold and rainy?
Will your generator hours be restricted by campground rules?
The Honda will burn less fuel, but the convenience of pushing a button on the inside of the motorhome, outweighs the cost of the extra fuel burned, in my opinion.
Also, you're already paying for the onboard generator, and the rental cost of the Honda will offset the difference in fuel usage.
1 gallon per hour does seem high. What size/make of generator is it? I might start by confirming the fuel consumption rate of the onboard generator.
Skip the rental, go with the included generator.
