 All good thoughts, and reminds me I haven't said much about my
 use case.  We tow a Lance 1475 with the Acadia Denali, and my
 interest is being able to camp off the grid (e.g., National
 Forests) so we can have some freedom in where we go (i.e., not
 be bound by campground reservations) and to not be packed in
 with lots of other campers.

 As far as electrical usage, the fridge is fair size for a small
 trailer but can run on propane.  The AC won't run at all on 12
 V, so that leaves microwave, electric kettle (for Aeropress
 coffee), furnace fan, lights, and charging of phones and
 laptops.  We have a newish 100Ah LiFEPO4 battery, and my guess
 is it might not last a full day.  Hence the need for some
 additional power source.  I need to try it out without shore
 power, so plan to try next camping trip.  Probably at a place
 with shore power, but just not connected until/if needed.

Okay, I'm a dumbass.  I just realized that unlike other options
(the trailer battery, a DC-Dc convertor, solar), a generator will
let me run 120 V things.  Duh.
