I did about a year of looking before I pulled the trigger last summer. A microwave and an oven are both storage. We like them both and have them, they are also perfect for holding bread, rolls, canned coffee and boxed foods when not in use or planned use for any length of time.
We went with an onboard Onan gen set because we did not want to haul cans of gas into the forest. I have a diesel truck and Arctic Fox has 2x30lb propane tanks. We do not plan on sitting in the camper watching TV, so a constantly running genie is not in the plans. When we need it, you simply hold down the start switch and off it goes. No problems so far. We have spent several days in the woods with onboard propane and water with no problems.
I side awning and solar panel are the only two real additions I want. The rear awning is great for keeping the steps dry and only mildly useful for shade. Any camper mounted awning is going to be 11 feet in the air when on the truck. They are only moderately useful for rainy days. That being said, they are pre-installed and require no packing, a big plus to me.
