It has all the pre-wiring, 2 AC units, and of course kitchen appliances and such. It's a 41'.

Am I to understand that I need to install gas tanks also with fuel lines? I know there's all the arguments over has type, or go solar. I'd like to add solar inn the future, but for now just want to install a generator in case I'm parking at Walmart or boondocking. I can't for the life of me figure out how many watts. I'm thinking 5000 should be enough to run AC, watch TV, work on a computer, etc. I'd like to avoid the cost of paying for installation. Oh yeah, converter vs. non. I'm assuming converter.

Any help? I'll go search the forums also
Does the RV have a generator prep? If so it is meant for an onan propane generator. If not save the money on the onboard gen set and get a Wen, predator, or Honda inverter gen set and just plug into it.
