Cardinal already answered for me. The generator is nice but it makes noise and sucks up a lot of propane. Solar panels are silent, run all the time, are maintenance free and don't use any fuel. When I'm out boon-docking I like to keep it quiet. We usually camp by ourselves but have you ever been next to someone who ran a generator for hours? I'll use the generator for big loads and back up. My last 5th wheel did not have an on board generator and I bought two Honda's for it. My solar panels/inverter worked so well I got to the point where I did not even carry the generators anymore.
