TT with integral generator for AC

Is there a travel trailer manufacturer-made with an integral propane powered generator to power the AC unit, similar to many class B's and C's?

Thanks to all who responded! And the answer IS.....the Northwood Manufacturing Arctic Fox "Nash" model, some sizes have a 3.6 Kw Onan LP on-board genny as a build option. Exactly what we're looking for.

Arctic Fox and Nash are two different brands from Northwoods, as far as I know there isn't a "Nash" model of Artic Fox brand..

nash 17k we're interested in is genny ready, with an onan option. I think that the low end bumper pull trailers tend to not be setup for that..

Personally I sorta prefer a portable gas genny, I can use it for a variety of things and gas is easy to come by... I can see though how handy push-button 110v could be.

still trying to figure out how to update profile since we no longer have a camper.

Wife& I took delivery of a Nash 23D in April. We opted for the factory installed Onan propane generator.

I have not seen a propane generator, my Dad has a toyhauler and the onboard generator pulls directly from the 30 gallon gasoline fuel station. I have never seen a propane generator integrated, doesn't mean there are not any though.

My old 2000 Bigfoot came with a factory installed Onan Microlite 2500 LP.

I see on their site they still offer generators.

As already mentioned, many Northwood MFG trailers (Arctic Fox/Nash) come with it as an option. Even if you choose one of their trailers that doesn't have it, there's a fair chance that there's a compartment for it, and it's already pre-wired.

Nash travel trailers offer factory installed generators. We almost bought one.

Generators on standard bumper pull TT's just don't exist unless they've been custom installed or an after market install. I don't know of any that comes equipped with any kind of generator. Unless, something is just recently being manufactured I know nothing about.

Toy Haulers, on the other hand, are a different story though. Generators on bumper pull Toy Haulers are common. The problem with Toy Haulers though, it's not as common for them to have slide outs like a Travel Trailer does. Some Toy Haulers do have slides, but usually just one, unlike a TT that could have as many as 4.

I think Artic Fox you can order a generator on some TT models. Custom build units you can order with a generator as well. New Horizon, Spacecraft, Continental.

As above poster said many TH have built in generators as well.
