Okay, so I'm trying to figure out this whole RV thing and I plan to purchase something cheap somewhat soon. One of the problems I'm running into in my shopping around is that many that I've looked at have no generator. I'm mostly looking at older class C's. I need some help understanding exactly what's what when it comes to these things:
Can someone just explain to me what's the deal with generators, inverters, converters, cabin batteries, etc etc. What do they all do? What do I need? Here's what I plan to do with my RV:
Weekend trips, mostly to campgrounds I think. I've never owned an RV, so I'm not 100% sure, but I plan to hunt out campgrounds. I don't know much about just setting up shop somewhere random.
Occasional tailgating at OSU games. For this, I'd need a television, heat, and water. This part is making me think I need a generator, but I'm not 100% sure. Last time I was down there the RV I was on was running on batteries the whole time.
I will not be fulltiming. This is just becoming a hobby I want to try.
Is no generator on board a deal-breaker for me? The guy I tailgated with for Michigan/OSU said I absolutely need a generator, of course he has a HUGE diesel pusher and tons of money. I would like to take the RV on a long trip here and there, maybe out west or something (I live in Ohio) and I've found a couple cheap-o's which seem sound mechanically, but with no generator. HELP!
