As we do almost no boondocking, I've been considering one of those $299 Gennys rated at 3500 watts. I see them either at Home D on sale or all over ebay or at Harbor freight. They're not all that heavy and are capable of running the air as well. Mostly in case of power outages. I would leave it covered in the back of the truck. I've done a few searches on the genny that started this thread and haven't found anyone who bought one. The general discussion about it was most everybody was looking for someone to be a genny pig. Buy it, try it and let us know.
