Onan is slowly replacing their carbureted gas generators with modern inverter based ones. The QG2800i is now out and the specs are impressive: very quiet, uses less gas particularly at partial loads and is quiet. And the price is about the same as the old one.
And it is electronically fuel injected (EFI) which generally eliminates gasoline ethanol varnish build up and starts instantly without having to prime the carburetor.
They should have the QG4000i out soon.
Solar is good but shady campsites or cloudy days don't work well. You will usually need a generator, either a portable Honda type or the new Onan to deal with those if you camp for long at one spot.
