I wouldn't be too fast to claim that a little genny like that little Ryobi can't be very useful for drycamping in an RV.
We have a motorhome RV with a built-in 4000 watt Onan generator, but still carry along a little 650 watt Honda suitcase generator. One at a time - the little Honda will power such things as our RV's 45 amp converter, a hair dryer on it's low setting, an electric heater on it's low setting, and our little RV vacuum cleaner. It starts right up after sitting for months with gasoline in it, and will run 5-6 hours on 1/2 gallon of gas. It does all this at a full power noise level of 54 dB(A).
IMHO, small low-noise gas-sipping generators can be very useful for camping in tents or RVs ... even as a relatively quiet backup to solar when there's little or no sun.
