On Board Generator vs Portable Generator
We are researching the purchase of a new toy hauler. And one of the options we are struggling with is whether or not to go with a portable generator, or the factory installed generator. Your opinion...

I will never again spend that kind of money for an onboard LP Onan!!! We have the 3600 in our TT. Dealer talked me into it for the convenience. That's about all it is, convenient!! Sucks LP like no tomorrow, louder than a thrashing machine and shakes the TT!!
Our first TT, 2010 Springdale I used twin Honda 2000's, one being the Companion. Worked great!! 2nd TT was a 2014 Nash. Mounted a Honda 3000 on the tongue over the LP tanks. Worked even better!!
Due to the different configuration on our 2016 AF I could not use the 3000 on the tongue. Idaho summers can get hot, even at altitude. Too hot for me anyway so I run my AC 3-4 hours every afternoon. At 1 to 1 1/2 gallons per hour you can't last long without an accompanying propane truck!!
I had a hitch fabricated to the frame of the TT rated at 500/5000. So now when the weather gets hot I'll be packing Hondas again!! :M
Don't know if the gas versions do any better but stay away from LP!!!
