It really suck when electronic board fails on build-in generator.
Ask me how do I know? And that happen in major US city.
You are not talking about using AC, so I wonder why you want big generator in the first place? With big solars all you need is small back up and even having build-in I was carrying one of those $80 2-cycle generators who was just big enough for micro-oven and battery charging.
I know people who went this direction in 2WD Toyota 4-runner, but they did not have camper, but had a child who celebrated 1-year on the trip.
If turning radius is your big concern, I know Ford switched to coil springs, who cut the radius drastically around 2004, but those Ford come with 6l diesel and I guess you know the deal about them.
The Fords with 7.3 will have bigger radius and I guess Rams from those years will be the same, but why you worry about it so much?
Thanks. Villages in South America can get small and awkward. It's just like travel here. You can stay on the main "tourist" roads, or do excursions off the beaten path. Down there, the excursions are worth doing, but they come at a price of a smaller, more nimble vehicle, from what I'm finding out.
