I have a set-up that many find odd and cool at the same time. I have twin 12-volt batteries in my '68 Pathfinder that power lighting and the like. I removed the water heater, since it was nothing more than a drain on the propane and inefficient as well. In that space, I installed a pull out shelf that pulls out of the side of the trailer. It feeds charger that feeds the batteries, as well as 4 120V outlets.

The noise from the generator is high, but if used properly, it isn't that bad. I run it about a half hour in the evening to keep the batteries charged, and again if I need to run something that runs off of 120. I've never used more than 2 gallons of fuel on a 7 day trip.

I can remove the generator and plug the trailer in with an extension cord for when the wife comes along for a normal camping trip. When she comes, I put a small air conditioner in where the generator sits, so she can be with me and not complain about the heat.

I could buy an updated TT, but I really like how the old one is set up. I even removed the shower and toilet from the trailer to add more space...it's only an 18 footer.
