Either way, I am covered. Will it be a waste of money? I don't care that much. I'll be prepared.
Love sitting by the fire too. That'll be a must.

Her's my take on an onboard factory installed generator. I have a toy hauler and they frequently have them installed, but if I had a typical 5th wheel I would order with one or have it installed. Cheaper if it's factory installed rather than after the fact. I don't "boon dock" per se but do stay in places on trips with no hookups. Walmart, rest areas, etc. I want the comforts of home including the air conditioning and A/C power for my CPAP. Noise is minimal in my opinion and with the air conditioning going, I'm usually tired from the drive and sleep well and comfortable. Sometimes when a generator is installed in a typical 5th wheel and is propane fired, 40# tanks are installed rather than 30#. I also like the ability to stop, go inside, start the generator and power the trailer systems rather than unload a generator from the truck, drag the power cord out, etc. I'll pay for the convenience. To each their own but that's what I want. An advantage to the toy hauler is the generator is gas not propane and I have 2 30 gallon tanks I can use.
