No, not always. Depends on cost, budget, need, etc....
Last time I looked, trailers out sold motorhomes by something like 7:1 ratio, and few have generators at all. Yet owners, who mostly stay in campgrounds with shore power, enjoy camping just fine.
If planning to run A/C boondocking at night to sleep, I wouldn’t want to refill propane tank every other day or so. That would get old for me, so I’d buy the diesel. However, 3 to 4 hours a month of generator use would make very little difference on how often I’d have to refill propane tank, so why spend $6,000 more for something that might also be heavier and louder (depends on generator models being compared).
As I’ve stated before, other than boondocking at football games the last couple of years, we’ve camped for over 20 years and used generators very little. And when we did, it was usually for short periods that could have been handled by an inverter. Running A/C overnight without shorepower, however, changes electrical “need” and therefore required equipment. One solution doesn’t fit everyone.
