I carry a Champion 3500 chained to this rack. It's mounted in the left rear corner so I can run the generator w/o moving it, I have a 25ft cord that will reach the outside connection. I carry a couple 25ft extension cords for running small stuff out side.

Most refer compressors have a relay that makes a spark each time it starts.

No conflict with the gen and the fridge. The gen running makes fumes that need to be kept out of the RV. The place where it is needs to be sealed from inside the RV. Otherwise, you can carry it in there, but must take it out and set it down to use it, closing that compartment door.
The big portable gens are too heavy for that, so now look at two smaller gens in parallel if you need that much power.
Next is gasoline to carry for the gen. Where? I carried a Honda 3000 in the truck with the 5er we had. Gassed up the Honda whenever we gassed up the truck. Big gas tank in the Honda 3000 so no need to carry any gas for it. Not the same with smaller gens.
The shore power cord could reach the Honda in the truck if parked close enough. Also extension cords. Not an issue.
You have to compromise depending on the priorities.

My TT has an outdoor kitchen towards the rear of it. It has a slide out induction burner and sink, and a mini fridge. I donโt use the induction burner and barely use the sink. It doesnโt have a drain so it must be manually dumped. I only use the water to rinse hands or tools when grilling. I am considering removing the slide out and just leaving the water line to use as a hose with a sprayer. I am also considering using the space to store one of those predator 3500 generators. Is the generator with gas in the tank and the mini dorm fridge a recipe for disaster? It isnโt a propane fridge, just an electric only fridge which isnโt on unless plugged in to shore power. Other option would be to get a truck tool box to store it but need to run electric cable from the back all the way to the truck bed when using it. Iโm also not sure if the 3500 will fit into a standard sized tool box. Thoughts and opinions please....
