Truck Camper with Built in Genset?

There are many truck camper manufacturers that have generators. My new Host Cascade has a built in Cummins propane generator. My first one with a genset. I agree with many, they can be loud and annoying to others and solar can definitely keep you charged. But on some occasions where you are out in the boonies on your own and the noise doesn't bother anyone, then they are advantageous. And depending on the climate you camp in, you may not need it all the time. Some TC manufacturers make campers with a compartment designed for an onboard generator, and/or large enough to carry a portable generator. You can opt out of the factory gen option and buy a small Honda generator and only carry it when you need it. Saving weight and having added storage. In both cases, neither may run the AC and Micro at the same time, meaning you turn off one while using the other. Hope this helps

You will find several different aspects of build-in generators.
Even my build-in was >$4000 option in year 2001, the Generacs of the era were junk.
That made me removing Generac, who placed at the end of the camper also triggered weight distributing issues and start using front-mounted Honda, who helped in maintaining COG a lot.
That was when I took long trip along southern states.
Than last summer I went to Alaska and even I took Honda 3000 with us, it turned dead weight on 8000 miles trip.
Point is that if you don't stay for more than 2 days without hookup, having 2 batteries you can run you coffee maker and microwave every day on inverter and truck charging alone.
