I tried to find a listing of TTs (not toy haulers) that come with Generators, but couldn't find one. Does anyone have a list or can you suggest some brands and models?

Thanks,

Your choices will be very limited and the generators the RV manufacturers offer are not the best/quietest on the market. Pick the RV you like and get a nice Honda or Yamaha inverter generator.

When I owned a MH I used the generator a lot. When I sold it and bought my 5Ver I definitely wanted a generator. I used the generator a few times on the 5Ver but it was a propane generator and every expensive to operate for any length of time. For a TT or 5Ver I think I would just buy a portable generator.

Buy the portable, your choice of color, more flexibility, ease of use.

I don't have a truck. Where do you put the portable and gas supply when towing?

There are some out there...I have seen them at shows but I don't remember brands (besides the Arctic Fox already mentioned). I agree to go the portable route--the installed gennies are LOUD.

Maybe it might be better to find one that's "generator ready" and then purchase a couple of the little Honda 2000 watt generators that link together to install. The 2 Honda 2000's are quieter than the larger Honda models and they'll run a 1500 air condition unit where the 3,000 won't.

I've got a 5500 Coleman generator that you can hear in the next county when it's fired up that I'll let go at a steal of a deal. You'll just have to be armed when you crank it up because the neighbors will be coming for you!
