Mike,
I'd have to agree. The odds are very low that the shore power in an RV park will be lost. A generator is an expensive proposition.

Sorry to hear you didn't have much success with the Onan generator. Fortunately for us, that is not the case. We only have about 100 hours on it, but so far so good.

For us, we like having both the inverter and the generator, as it gives us the most flexibility (but of course, is the most expensive!). The inverter gives us AC power for quick overnights without the noise of the generator. However, it's a 'joke' when running high power units such as the AC. It will only run on the battery for 20 minutes before the generator would kick in. As a result, I've had them removed from the inverter and they will only work on shore power or generator power, but NOT the inverter.

The generator comes in handy when the batteries need to be recharged or where shore power is not available, such as tailgating...go Oklahoma State Cowboys! :-)
