It's a lawnmower.
It acts likes a lawnmower.

We have a generator start button on the dash, wife doesn't have to get up to do anything.

My ags has never kicked on. Batteries are charged through the inverter and alternator when the generator isn't running and by the generator when it is running(350a charger is built into my inverter)

We run our generator and our ac anytime it's over 80° or so outside.

Generator cranks for five or six seconds...just like a mower that needs to pump fuel.

3,000 miles on our current drive about and we're going for 8,000 or so. Generator was running all but a couple of hundred of those miles and we anticipate the same for the balance of the trip.

An aside
Generator uses about half a gallon per hour, that's 120mpg at 60mph, 140mpg at 70mph.
But
That's about $1.50 an hour at todays fuel prices...multiplied by the hours you run the gen...per day....

V10 uses .67 gallons at idle.
