In this video, I break down everything RV owners need to know about choosing the right generator for their setup. I go over the pros and cons of onboard generators vs. portable generators, how they compare in real-world use, and how to decide which one actually makes sense for your RV lifestyle. I also explain how many watts each type of RV really needs — from travel trailers and fifth wheels to motorhomes — and why the “bigger is better” mindset doesn’t always apply. Yes, you can use a smaller generator, but you’ll be limited in what you can run, and I show you exactly what those limitations look like. If you’re tired of guessing or you’re worried about buying the wrong generator, this video will make it simple and help you choose the right size the first time. 🧰 More RV guides & tips: thatrvtech.com 🔧 Daily RV education: @ThatRVTech on TikTok | Facebook | YouTube ⸻ Keywords (SEO): RV generator, what size generator do I need, RV power, onboard generator vs portable generator, RV watts, RV electrical system, That RV Tech, RV tips, RV maintenance, RV power usage, RV boondocking
