Looking to buy our first fifth wheel. I originally gravitated toward toy haulers because they have onboard generators. However, they push the limits of my tow vehicle, and some of the jayco bunk houses are too hard to ignore with a family (with two smaller children).
My question - without an onboard generator, how do trailer owners boon dock in walmart parking lots, eat lunch during travel (in the trailer), etc without needing the AC? I live in Texas, so sleeping in a trailer with no AC would be a nightmare. Also, with small kids, I imagine we will be stopping quiet a bit to let them run around and stretch legs.
I said something similar to this and the sales guy said generators could be added to trailers for about 8k.. I can't find any install examples and have never heard this before.
If I buy a stand alone generator, how can it reasonably be used? Mount it to a rack on the back? truck bed? Can they run from those positions without needing to drag them onto the ground and away from the trailer (thus making them a risk for theft and turning me into the guy that looks like he is moving into a walmart parking lot)?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
