Yes, but only the last two years. Before that I had very little need for any kind of generator because we used campgrounds with full hookups, or occassionally slept in rest areas late at night where we could survive without A/C.
Tailgating for football weekends changed our needs a lot in 2016 & 2017. While we still don't want a noisy generator to haul around all the time, we need to be able to run A/C at least 5 or 6 days and nights a year.
Granted, a $1,000 Honda inverter generator would work "good enough", but these new systems are so much better. While still very expensive, I like the idea of camping in National Parks where generators are not allowed during most of the day or at night, and without having to give up electrical conveniences.
As many have stated, it always comes down to A/C requirements that drives the need for these expensive lithium/inverter systems.
