You might consider a little different approach. Maybe you could find an RV generator to use. RV generators a MUCH smoother, and more quiet than portable units and are often more fuel efficient. Everyone around will thank you for not using a portable unit. The RV unit is often connected to the vehicle's tank which is larger and reduces fueling hazards. Remember that the unit mounted in your coach is still portable because it is on wheels. One reason that I bought my toter is that it has a diesel generator on board. If I have a power outage I can power my home with the generator in the toterhome. Diesels sip fuel compared to single-cylinder gas units and it is connected to a 200 fuel supply. This combination puts me in pretty good shape. Keep your eyes out for deals on used units. Dad got a 7500W LP generator with about 30hours for $1500. The deals are out there if you are patient. You may be able to sell the portable unit to offset the cost of the RV generator.
