I always bring my Onan which is installed in the MH..but try not to run it less absoloutely necessary. Honda is usually claimed to be the best portable generator and among the quietest. They aint cheap is the only drawback. You can buy some real off branded junk at the chain home improvement stores Lowes..Home Depot etc. Contact a fella named Scott Foreman at the link below. He will cut you a deal on a Honda if you tell him you a bbq cook. He is off on Sundays and Thursdays so dont call on them days.
