Big advantages include the use of propane fuel (can use the disposable canisters or hookup to Westy propane tank with proper hoses and attachments), lightweight and small size, and relatively inexpensive.
For those who got rid of the 100 lb or so Onan Generator as too noisy, too big and unnecessary if don't have a rooftop air conditioner, etc., but still have propane tank--this Ryobi might be a good emergency generator to recharge batteries, etc. Check this article to read more about propane generators.
It might still be too big to fit inside the Westy.
While the Honda and Yamaha generators are top-notch and have more output, they cost a lot more and need gas.
