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.

That's why I asked. Thank you for a great explanation. Hadn't thought about this that way and now I am smarter. Sounds like a great project with lots of good returns for you.
