We boondock alot and have an Onan propane generator installed with a on/off control panel inside the coach so we don't have to go out in rotten weather or night time to turn it on/off.

We did look at Generac but they were too noisy at the time. Now mind you this was in 2001 and I am sure they have done some noise control on all makes of generators since then.

We do like the propane powered generator as it draws off our propane tanks and we don't have to carry an additional fuel.

Probably the best thing is decide if you are going to boondock enough to warrant the cost of buying the generator and having it installed, then reseach the noise levels on the ones you are considering. We also bought our coach "generator ready" and at the time it didn't mean much more than having a punch-out panel in the floor of the front compartment for ventilation for the generator. Lot$ more to do when installing a generator.

If we buy a new coach again and want a generator, we'll order the coach with the generator already installed.
