If you are traveling in hot temps and humidity, I think a generator is a must to be able to run A/C. We have had a week of low to mid-90’s in PA so A/C is a must.
If you camp in places that don’t require A/C, then the generator becomes more of a luxury than a necessity. Given all the places we go, I want the generator.
If you want or need A/C when there isn’t shore power available, I think the generator is a must. By the time you add an Inverter large enough to run A/C, the batteries required and solar (or even an extra alternator) there is no net loss in weight.... and probably a weight gain.... if wanting to ditch a generator. And while the cost may be a wash if you sell the generator, the work involved would not be worth it in my opinion.

I agree with Judge, I have the XG32 Omni and the diesel generator is quiet. I did not find the generator in my previuos 31L all that noisy.
If you need to run the A/C you will want that generator.
Adding an extra alternator, inverters and batteries just to get rid of the generator just does not make weight and financial since.
