# 6 Best Bunk Room Travel Trailers 2023

Travel trailers with bunk beds are popular, but travel trailers with separate bunk room and a private bunk room travel trailer floorplan are not that common. 

This time, we reviewed two different floor plans regarding the number of bunk beds. On the one hand, the new 2023 Premier 33BKPR bunk room travel trailer with only 2 bunk beds in a private bedroom and a half bath inside the bunk room. On the other hand, a bunk room travel trailer with 4 bunk beds, the 2023 Imagine 3210BH.

Let’s see these two travel trailers with bunk rooms in detail.

Best Travel Trailer with 4 Bunk Beds for 2023: Grand Design RV Imagine 3210BH Bunk Room

Are you looking for a 2023 travel trailer with 4 bunks? The New 2023 Imagine 3210BH by Grand Design RV has a private bunk room with four bunk beds, organized in a completely private separate bedroom. In other words, the Imagine 3210BH is a Rear Quad Bunkhouse Travel Trailer.

As you can see in the floor plan below, the 2023 Imagine 3210BH is a travel trailer with a rear bunk room, entirely private for 4 people. The private master queen bedroom is in front of the RV, while the full bath is ensuite and allows a pass-thru to the central area of the camper. So, if you close all the doors for privacy, you will have this amazing travel trailer separated into 2 bedrooms (or 3 bedrooms if you consider the middle section a bedroom when the doors are closed), with a sleeping capacity between 6 and 9 depending on the optional arrangements selected.

# 7 Best Travel Trailers with NO Bunk Beds For 5 to 10 People

In recent conversations with RVers friends, we talked about the new RV floor plans for 2023 and compared some from 2022 , and they were saying, “ Show me a travel trailer without bunks “, and “ There must be travel trailers with no bunk beds ”. That’s right, bunk beds are not a good idea for couples who occasionally receive visitors. We can’t willingly add teenagers if we offer them to sleep on a bunk mat. Let’s face it.

Here, we have two options for 2023 travel trailers with no bunk beds. The new Alpha Wolf 28FKK-L travel trailer floor plan for 2023 , and the well-known Catalina Legacy Edition 343BHTS travel trailer with 2 queen bedrooms were rereleased in 2023 with little upgrades from previous years. Let’s check them out.

Best Travel Trailer Sleeps 5 No Bunk Beds: New 2023 Alpha Wolf 28FKK-L Floor Plan

Forest River RV recently introduced a new 2023 Alpha Wolf 28FKK-L travel trailer floor plan.

Inspired by its most popular travel trailer, the Cherokee Alpha Wolf 26DBH-L, a bunkhouse travel trailer with a queen-sized bed, Forest River presents a new travel trailer floorplan for 2023: The Alpha Wolf 28FKK-L travel trailer.

As we explained many other times, bunk beds are fine for kids. Still, the comfort may be limited, and it is more versatile for RV owners to have the area that a bunkhouse would occupy and unfold sofas and booth dinettes when needed to increase the sleeping capacity. It is a way to make an investment that does not require changing RV models to accommodate other floor plans needed to adjust to the age of the family members.

The new 2023 Alpha Wolf 28FKK-L travel trailer has a private master queen-size bedroom. In the center of the master bedroom is a queen-sized bed with plenty of room to walk around the bed and nightstands. The bedroom has direct access to the bathroom, and the area can be enclosed with solid doors, giving privacy to the rear of the RV.

New Alpha Wolf 28FKK-L Travel Trailer No Bunk Beds

The bathroom is significant and comfortable, with plenty of storage. The shower is in the corner of the bathroom (radius shower), with hard curved sliding glass doors and a skylight.

Something that we are going to highlight in this new travel trailer, Alpha Wolf 28FKK-L floorplan , is the walk-in pantry that allows having a well-organized and even more minimalist camper .

New Alpha Wolf 28FKK-L Travel Trailer Sleeps 5

The kitchen in the corner of the travel trailer is spacious enough to prepare and cook meals. It is not an island kitchen, nor too big, but it has a good proportion according to the number of people that can sleep in this camper (sleeps 5). In addition, there is an outdoor kitchen , which complements very well with the qualities of this travel trailer designed for families or couples who want to host family and friends.

Alpha Wolf 28FKK-L Travel Trailer review

One of the reasons we chose this 2023 camper as one of the best travel trailers 2023 over others is the excellent value for the money (estimated price $39,500). Considering it is a travel trailer that sleeps 5, private rear bedroom, front kitchen, full dry bath with double and a radius shower, two slides-out, outside kitchen, two entry/exit doors, and an excellent length/weight ratio (under 9000 lbs. gross weight and less than 33 feet long), there is an excellent value for the money in this 2023 travel trailer .

The u-shaped booth dinette can easily accommodate two people in a 54”x 82” bed at night. This camper is excellent if you are looking for a travel trailer with a bunkhouse and outdoor kitchen. A grill outside and a small fridge will allow you to cook in the shade of a 12-foot-long awning and spend pleasant moments with your family. A characteristic of the E-Pro line that we must point out as an advantage is the number of storage spaces distributed inside and outside the camper. The travel trailer has five external storage compartments and several over-the-head counters.

About John Smith

For more than 30 years I worked in the exciting world of RV manufacturing. I liked knowing that I could improve the campers with customer feedback and see the improvements and upgrades on floor plans, delivering the best designs and the best quality RVs, year after year. After traveling with my family in RVs and small rented campers across the USA, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and even North Africa, I feel that I must share personal experiences, guidance, concerns, tips, and news. At Camper Outdoor, we share our biggest passion, weekend getaways in a camper, RV vacations, extended stays in RV parks, the quiet life of senior couples who choose to spend more time enjoying their RV, and boondocking experiences (which as in the beginning was unsuccessful, we have good tips to avoid the same thing happening to you!).

2. Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge

The small town of Gatlinburg is nestled in the middle of the mountains, and you can walk the streets to visit locally owned shops and restaurants.

SkyLift Park, reopened in 2019 with a walk in the clouds known as the SkyBridge, is a must-see. It’s the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in North America. Walk across glass panels for a view of the canyon, or look up for the best views of the Smokies.

3. Charleston, SC

Charleston is one of the best RV trip ideas for those who like history. Some say the Battery, a stretch along the city’s southern tip, is a can’t-miss. Check out the southern-style mansions overlooking Charleston Harbor, and spend time in nearby White Point Garden to see Civil War relics and memorials.

You can start at the 12-acre Waterfront Park, and follow the walking path for a nearly one-mile stroll to White Point Garden. Don’t forget to sign up for a horse drawn carriage ride, a ghost tour, or check out the Charleston City Market, one of the oldest in the country.

Nearby RV parks are plentiful. Be sure to check out the Mount Pleasant/Charleston KOA Holiday with its fishing lake, nature trails, and access to the Oakland Plantation.

4. Niagara Falls

Of course, Niagara Falls is full of attractions, events, festivals, and much more, particularly in the summer. Niagara Falls State Park is really the highlight of your visit to this quaint town.

On the U.S. side, the falls straddle the U.S. and Canada. Don’t miss a ride on the Maid of the Mist, which takes you on a boat ride up to the falls. Yes, you will get wet.

You can also descend 175 feet into the Niagara Gorge. An elevator takes you down to a series of wooden walkways to Hurricane Deck where you will be within feet of Bridal Veil Falls. You might want to plan your trip for the fall when you can add the beauty of the changing colors to your already stunning views.

Spend your evening checking out a local restaurant or winery and then return to see the falls lit at night.

Several KOA RV parks are nearby as well as a Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park .

5. Williamsburg, VA

Another one of the best RV trip ideas for history buffs is Williamsburg, VA. The true heart of Williamsburg is, of course, Colonial Williamsburg. History comes to life as you explore life in the 1800s. The grounds are open to visitors for free so you can explore historic buildings, see historical interpreters, and visit shops, museums, and restaurants.

During the summer, you might find a free concert. You can visit the post office and mail a letter with an official Colonial Williamsburg stamp.

Take the Jamestown-Scotland ferry, its free, across the James River to Scotland and Surry to see the plantations and other historic sites. You can bike the Virginia Capital Trail, one of the first inland paved pedestrian and bicycle trails in North America. Take in musical performances, as well as arts and crafts vendors, walk through the historic campus of William & Mary, the second oldest college in America, or enjoy cuisine from the 1800s.

Drive the 23-mile scenic parkway and take in nearby Yorktown, Jamestown, as well as Williamsburg.

6. Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone is one of the most popular parks in the Western United States and for good reason. The park sits on top of a dormant volcano and has more geysers and hot springs than any other place on earth. The 3,500 sq. mile wilderness recreation area is mostly in Wyoming, but also spreads into parts of Montana and Idaho. There you will find lush forests, canyons, alpine rivers, geysers, including the most famous, Old Faithful. The park is also home to bears, wolves, bison, elk, and antelope.

There are five campgrounds within the park. Be sure and check for any length restrictions. Fishing Bridge Campground is the only place with full hook-ups. There are private campground options outside of the park. You will want to make your reservations well ahead of time to make sure you can stay.

7. Grand Canyon National Park

Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona is a massive canyon with layers of red rock that are millions of years old. Some 277 miles of the Colorado River runs through the canyon which is one-mile deep and up to 18 miles wide. Hiking, ranger tours, river trips, and backcountry camping are just a few of the things you can do while in the park.

The Trail of Time is a nearly 3-mile walk that traces the Grand Canyon’s geologic history. Along the way, rocks and exhibits explain how the Grand Canyon and its rocks were formed.

The South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park has one campground with full hook-ups inside the park. It can accommodate RVs up to 50 feet in length and is open year round. You will need to get your reservation at least 6 months in advance. There are plenty of private campgrounds nearby.

8. Redwood National And State Parks

Redwood National Park is home to some of the tallest trees in the world. The park also encompasses prairies, rivers, woodlands, and 40 miles of coastland. Tall Trees Grove is the best place to see the towering redwoods, and Red Creek Overlook is a great place to see the sunset.

Elk Meadows is the most reliable place to see elk in the park. Don’t miss the Avenue of the Giants. Although not technically in the park, this 31-mile drive through the Humboldt Redwoods State Park is a must-see. Make it a day trip; there is plenty to see along the way.

The Del Norte Redwoods State Park is one of four parks in the National and State Parks. It can accommodate RVs up to 31 feet for dry camping. Nearby Ramblin’ Redwoods Campground is one of several that provide full hook-ups and 50-amp electric.

9. Arches National Park

Utah has five National Parks , all of which are beautiful, very different, and very busy. Arches National Park has more than 2,000 natural sandstone arches, including Delicate Arch, Devils Garden, and other sandstone features such as Balanced Rock, The Three Gossips, and many more. The park is bordered by the Colorado River to the south.

If you are not up for a lot of hiking, you can see much of the beautiful scenery with a car ride. You can stop at one of the many overlooks and take pictures of the unique rock formations.

There are several parks to choose from when visiting Arches National Park. Moab Valley RV Resort is just a short drive from both Arches National Park as well as the town of Moab.

Portal RV Resort , situated between Moab and Arches, is another great place to stay. About a mile north of Moab and about three miles to Arches, the park has a pool and a hot tub, as well as a small, fenced dog park. Sites are level gravel.

10. Zion National Park

Zion is my favorite National Park in Utah and one of the best RV trip ideas. Here are a few hints to get the most out of your trip to Zion.

During peak season from March through late November, cars can’t drive through the park, so you must take the shuttle to the different sites and trailheads. Be sure and get up early to find a parking place at the visitor center. The shuttle begins at 7 a.m. so it’s best to get there as early as possible.

Zion is home to some famous (or perhaps infamous) trails including one of the most dangerous parts of a trail called Angel’s Landing. The Chains Section is a ½ mile route set on top of a 1,488 foot rock section. The path provides a chain to hang onto, but is only a few feet wide in some places.

There are RV spaces in Zion National Park, but they have no hookups. Your best bet is to find a campground nearby and use the park’s shuttle. Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort offers the best RV camping near Zion, with spacious RV sites and other accommodations, as well as a wide variety of activities on the eastern border of the national park.

Zion River Resort in nearby Virgin, Utah has full hook-ups sites. The resort amenities include a pool, hot tub, laundry facilities, and is situated along the Virgin River with walking access to the river from your site.

11. Yosemite National Park

Yosemite National Park is another one of those bucket list RV trip ideas you can’t miss while you spend time in the West. The park is located in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains and is famed for its giant ancient sequoia trees, Tunnel View and the stunning Bridalveil Fall, and the granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome.

An easy hike to Bridalveil Fall will take you right to the base. You can feel the spray and hear the water as it crashes on the boulders. From Tunnel View, you get a good look at the falls from a higher vantage point.

Yosemite has some great hiking trails for all abilities. Some are wheelchair accessible paths and others will take one day or several days to hike. The shorter trails are usually busiest, but you can avoid the crowds by tackling some of the longer hikes. Some trails are only accessible in the summer.

When you’ve had your fill of the beautiful scenery, head to Yosemite Village where there are shops, restaurants, and the Yosemite Museum and Ansel Adams Gallery, with black and white photography prints available of the landscapes of the area.

Most campgrounds in Yosemite allow RVs, but you will need to get a reservation at least 6 months to a year in advance. There are only 8 sites that allow for longer rigs. Some sites are first-come, first-served. Be aware there are no hookups anywhere in Yosemite National Park.

12. Glacier National Park

Glacier National Park is a 1,583 sq. mile wilderness area in Montana’s Rocky Mountains. Visitors can see glacier-carved peaks and valleys while hiking some of the 700 miles of hiking trails. You can also enjoy backpacking, cycling, and camping, and see the area’s diverse range of wildlife including mountain goats, grizzly bears, moose, coyotes, wolves, elk, deer, and many others.

One of the most popular things to do at Glacier is to drive the scenic 52-mile highway through Glacier National Park called the Going-to-the-Sun Road. It crosses the Continental Divide and provides some spectacular views.

Inside the park, only primitive camping is allowed. Sites are first-come, first-serve. Just outside the park inside the Flathead National Forest you can find dispersed camping, and there are a number of RV parks nearby with full hookups.

13. Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs

Choosing just one place to go in Colorado is difficult. There are so many beautiful areas. One of the most visited attractions is Garden of the Gods. You will be in awe of its enormous sandstone formations. Don’t miss a photo op of gravity-defying boulders such as Kissing Camels, Balanced Rock, Tower of Babel, and Pig’s Eye. You won’t need your wallet because Garden of the Gods is free to explore.

While you are in the area, don’t forget to take a drive or a train ride to the top of Pikes Peak. Plan for a three hour roundtrip to the top and get your tickets in advance for the Pikes Peak Cog Railway. Pikes Peak is the highest summit of the southern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The 14,115 foot peak is located in Pike National Forest, 12 miles west of downtown Colorado Springs. The town of Manitou Springs lies at its base.

Garden of the Gods RV Resort has plenty of amenities and wonderful views of Pikes Peak. According to a reviewer on RV LIFE Campgrounds ,

“There is a free public bus system with a stop near the campground entrance and goes to Manitou Springs for shopping and eating options. Better than trying to take a big tow vehicle into Manitou Springs (its pretty tight all around). Campground location is close to the entrance to Pike’s Peak and Garden of the Gods Nature Center. 30-45 minutes away is the Crags Trail – a ~5 mile out/back moderate hike with great views (gets to almost 11,000′ elevation). And nearby to that trail is the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. Wander in to Colorado Springs about 20 minutes to Ivywild School – a decommissioned, remodeled elementary school built in 1916 that is family friendly with several eateries and a micro brew. It has outdoor seating and saw several furry friends enjoying the atmosphere.”

14. Bar Harbor, Maine

There is a such a beauty to this area, you won’t be sorry for taking some time, either in summer or fall, to explore Bar Harbor and the surrounding area. Located on Mount Desert Island, next to Acadia National Park, this favorite tourist destination offers historic charm, a beautiful coastline, and a plethora of activities for the whole family.

The national park, located on the island, is a rugged 47,000-acre Atlantic Coast recreation area which features rocky beaches, granite peaks, and Cadillac Mountain, the tallest mountain on the U.S. Atlantic Coast. Visitors can enjoy hiking, climbing, mountain biking, horseback riding, and birdwatching. From the town pier, the Shore Path winds along the bay overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the Porcupine Islands.

Don’t forget to take a whale watching trip, or explore the Village Green in Bar Harbor to enjoy its history and see its landmarks.

There are plenty of private RV parks near Bar Harbor , as well as in the National Park. Just make sure to make reservations well in advance.

15. Mount Washington and the Cog Railway – New Hampshire

Look down on the tops of clouds or view four states on a clear day from the top of Mount Washington, the highest elevation in the northern Appalachians. The best way to get to the top is via the Cog Railway, which has been carrying tourists since 1869. At the top, visit the Sherman Adams Visitors Center, which houses a small museum, a cafeteria, and the Mount Washington Observatory, a research station that studies the mountain’s extreme weather conditions.

Check out the Tip-Top House, a historic former hotel in Mount Washington State Park. Built in 1853, it is the oldest surviving building in the summit area and is believed to be the oldest mountain-top hostelry in the world. It features exhibits about the mountain’s history and is located near the visitor’s facility. It is open to visitors from early May to early October.

Check out the 5,775-acre Crawford Notch State Park, which is a major pass through the White Mountains. The park includes the Willey House historical site and the Dry River Campground with some RV sites (no hookups). Hiking trails in the park lead to popular destinations such as Ripley Falls and Arethusa Falls.

16. Mustang Island

Mustang Island is an 18-mile barrier island on the Gulf Coast of Texas. If you like everything to do with beaches, water, and fishing, you will love this area. You can access the island via the Causeway Bridge from Corpus Christi, or over the Port Aransas Ferry which runs continuously.  

Watch the boats from Roberts Point Park, or explore nature at the Leonabelle Turnbill Birding Center or the Port Aransas Nature Preserve at Charlie’s Pasture. Throw a line in right from the beach or take a walk down the Horace Caldwell Fishing Pier, some 1,200 feet long. In April, brave the crowds and check out the Texas Sandfest. Sculptors from all over the world turn sand into beautiful art pieces.

After a day in the sun and sand, take in some nightlife in Port Aransas. There are many restaurants, bars, and shops to fill an evening with fun. Don’t forget to get fresh shrimp off the Peggy Ann for a tasty treat.  

Find a spot to boondock at Mustang Island State Park, get a permit and park on the beach, or check out some great RV resorts in Port Aransas .

17. Galveston

Galveston is an island city on the Gulf Coast of Texas. While there, you can enjoy the long stretch of beaches with plenty of room to claim your spot and play in the shallow water. Check out Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier with rides, suitable for all ages, as well as games and activities. The 1,130-foot pier is a great family destination and is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and on weekends during the winter.

Stewart Beach is a family-friendly beach with chair and umbrella rentals, a children’s playground, concessions, and a lifeguard. Head to Galveston Island State Park, walk along the boardwalks, kayak and birdwatch on the bay or the ocean.

The Moody Mansion, a 28,000 sq. ft. home, is on the National Register of Historic Places and features stained glass, custom carved woodwork, decorative tiles and plasterwork, along with fine stencil work throughout. Guided tours are available, as well as special events and programs. Don’t forget to check out the vintage Cadillacs parked in the garage.

There are many RV resorts and parks that you can stay right along the Gulf with beautiful views and full hookups.

18. Beaver Lake/Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Arkansas isn’t called the Natural State for no reason. Whatever place you pick is going to be beautiful. Beaver Lake and Eureka Springs are a great combination of outdoor fun together with shopping, shows, activities, spectacular views and more.

At Beaver Lake don’t miss War Eagle Cavern. This is a one hour, one-mile guided walking tour that follows a wide, easy walkway beside a stream flowing through the cavern. The cavern features domes, streams, waterfalls, and many formations. During the tour you will learn about the Indians and outlaws and maybe see a bat up close. Above ground are hiking trails and picnic and play areas for the kids. Although not for everyone, you can join the Spelunker Tour that begins where the public tour ends. It takes at least three hours, a group of four or more, and reservations.

In Eureka Springs, make sure you see Thorncrown Chapel with its 425 windows and some 6,000 sq. ft of glass. Ride the tram for a guided tour of historic Eureka Springs. You will see Victorian buildings, landmarks such as Grotto Spring, and hear stories of Eureka’s history.

Ozark Cabins and RV provides full hookups with beautiful views near Beaver Lake and the White River. Book a trout guide or explore many trails on the grounds. You can also get your fishing supplies at the on-site convenience store.

The resort offers fishing guides, and rentals of jon boats, river boats, kayaks, rafts, and canoes.

Eureka Springs Inspiration Point

19. Upper Peninsula, Michigan

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is one of the most popular RV trip ideas. The Upper Peninsula region borders three of the Great Lakes and is connected to Michigan’s Lower Peninsula by the five-mile-long Mackinac Bridge. In between the two peninsulas is Mackinac Island, a car-free vacation destination accessible by ferry and a must-see on your UP adventure.

While on the island, check out Fort Mackinac with its 14 historic buildings. Check out the museum and listen to interpreters as they depict life in the fort in the late 1900s. See Arch Rock or visit the Butterfly House and Insect World. Stay at the Grand Hotel on the island, play a round of golf, or take a carriage tour.

If you want to get away from the crowds, choose the lesser traveled Drummond Island, known for its wildlife and ORV trails, or Grand Island for wilderness camping and mountain bike riding along scenic overlooks. The Les Cheneaux is a series of islands, great for protected paddling.

Park your RV at Straits State Park with a high, straight view down the center of the Mackinac Bridge. It was used as a survey point during its construction. Also, you can choose a beachfront campsite on the shoreline of the Straits of Mackinac.  

For trip inspiration, check out this Road Trip On The Upper Peninsula Of Michigan .

20. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Michigan

As you spend time in Michigan, check out Sleeping Bear Dunes in the state’s Lower Peninsula. The park is known for its scalable dunes at the Dune Climb. Beaches include Platte River Point, where the river flows into the lake. The Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail winds through the forest with views of 19 th century farmsteads.

The park is a great place for stargazing, so be sure and plan to attend a star party. Rangers share the best spots for sky viewing. Check out the historic village of Glen Haven with some of the park’s prettiest beaches. Watch a smithy hammer hot iron into horseshoes, get penny candy at the general store, and visit the neighboring museum.

22. Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri

As you travel this beautiful country, make sure you don’t consider Missouri just a pass-through state. For those who like the outdoors, there is an abundance of beautiful state parks, rivers to kayak and canoe, and lakes to enjoy. One of my favorite spots is Lake of the Ozarks. I’ve been visiting there since I was a young child, swimming, skiing, boating, and exploring the 84 sq. mile lake.

If you are ready for a break from the water fun, head out to explore Bridal Cave with its massive rock drapery formations, or Stark Caverns with a large underground lake. Ozark Caverns is famous for its Angel Shower cave phenomenon where a constant shower of water streams from the cave ceiling.

In the area you can find something to suit everyone in your family including spas, golf, go-karts, water parks, local wineries, or lakeside dining. Make a rainy day a shopping day at Osage Beach outlet marketplace.

The 8 Best RV Generators Give You Go-Anywhere Power

To make a mobile home truly feel like an actual home, it helps to have a great generator.

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us?

An RV generator is a big investment, but an important one. We’ll help you find the right option for your setup–walk you through the shopping process and recommend the best models we’ve found and tested. With our picks, you can keep the power flowing wherever you roam.

The Best RV Generators

  • Best Overall: Champion Power Equipment 4500W Wireless Start Inverter Generator
  • Best Value: Genkins GK2300i Portable Inverter Generator
  • Best Solar: Jackery Solar Generator 3000 Pro
  • Best Dual Fuel: Pulsar GD400BN 4000W Dual Fuel Generator
  • Best Portable: Honda EU2200i 2200W Portable Generator
The Expert: Over the past decade I’ve reviewed portable generators, power stations and other gear for publications like Popular Mechanics , Popular Science , The Daily Beast , Thrillist and more. Not only have I spent over 30 years camping in RVs, but I’ve used just about every type of portable generator in a variety of vehicles, including RVs and converted vans.

Looking for more backup power solutions? Here are our review of the best portable generators , the best solar-powered generators , and the best home generators .

What to Consider in an RV Generator

How to tell if a generator is rv-ready.

Brands don’t make official, task-specific “RV generators,” but there are a couple of specific features they should have to make sense in that role. Most RVs feature a 30-amp (A) outlet, which enables you to power your entire RV, charging its batteries while running everything from lights to the air conditioner. If your generator doesn’t have a matching 30-amp plug, then it isn’t really the right tool for this job.

Generator size also matters: Ideally, it should be large enough to power your RV for a couple days, but also needs to be light enough to move around and compact enough to fit inside, either through the door or into an exterior cargo hold if you have one. It definitely helps to figure out where you plan to store your generator ahead of time and measure that space so you know what will and won’t work for your setup.

Wattage and Capacity

Size matters–in watts (W), that is. While RV setup is different, we’d generally suggest that most RVs need at least 2,000 watts at any given time, which is enough to power an air conditioner, fridge, lights, and a few devices. Campers should be comfortable at the low end of the spectrum: With 2,000 watts, you’ll have to be careful about using your a/c and making sure to unplug appliances when they aren’t in use, but that shouldn’t be a problem if you plan to spend most of your time outside. If you’re spending a fair amount of time inside and plan to use your a/c often, you should look for a larger generator that can put out upwards of 3,500 watts.

If you’re using a solar generator , you also need to consider your generator’s capacity, or its ability to store energy that’s been harnessed by a solar panel . To power an RV, you should look for a generator that can store at least 3,000 watt-hours (Wh), which is enough to power a fridge, lights, devices, and small appliances for a couple of days. And it needs to have an output of at least 2,000 watts, which allows it to power said essentials simultaneously. Keep in mind that solar generators generally cannot generate as much juice as gas or electricity: Unless you have an extraordinary solar panel array and perfect sun to keep the power flowing, you probably won’t be able to power a full suite of appliances on solar alone.

Most RV generators run on gasoline. There are also dual-fuel generators that use gas or propane: Generators tend to run more quietly when using propane, so it’s a useful option when you set up in a crowded area.

Solar generators are an increasingly popular and attractive option, as well. While it takes time to fully charge a generator via solar panels, they are more sustainable and work well if you’re camping off-grid. Worst case, you can plug them into a house or building power to charge them quickly.

It is never safe to run a gas or propane generator inside your RV. Likewise, do not attempt to fill the gas tank while it’s running, which could start a fire. Solar generators are safe to use indoors.

Portability

There’s no “set it and forget it” RV generator: You will need to move it around fairly often, so it needs light enough for 1-2 people to carry in and out. In general, lighter is better here, but I’d generally look for one around 40-50 pounds for a 2,000-watt generator, or 50-100 pounds for 3,000-4,000 watts. Some generators feature built-in wheels and handles, which can make life a lot easier when you need to move them around.

An oft-overlooked cousin of portability is volume, because you don’t want to be the camper who brings excessive noise pollution to a campground where everyone’s looking to enjoy the great outdoors. Smaller, more portable generators will generally generate less noise. Keep in mind, though, that some manufacturers make their generators lighter by shedding insulation that keeps them quiet. In the end, it’s up to you to find a balance between the two.

In addition to the standard 30-amp/120-volt outlet that you want to properly hook up your RV, the best RV generators will have a variety of plugs that will allow you to power or charge other devices directly. We usually look for standard AC outlets, like you’d find at home, which come in handy for plugging in power tools, outdoor appliances, or whatever else. Many generators also come with USB-A and USB-C ports to charge laptops, phones and other tech.

If you plan on running everything off your RV, port variety may not be as important. But it’s a very nice value add if you plan to use the generator away from your RV.

Since you have to lug your generator in and out of your RV, it needs to be durable enough to take a few bumps here and there. Plus, you want it to last as long as possible without needing repairs. It’s hard to gauge durability on spec, but certain brands have reputations for strong build quality and sturdy construction. Even then, it always pays to look at user reviews and find out if your pick has a reputation for holding up over time.

How We Selected The Best RV Generators

I’ve used RV generators in all shapes and sizes for decades, and have been rigorously testing new models from both top manufacturers and up-and-coming startups for the past five years: My selections are the result of all that experience. To supplement my experience, I compared my findings against a variety of expert reviews and those from real-world buyers at retailers like Amazon.

The recommendations below span a range of price points, portability and operating specs, and situational needs, and after much testing and consideration I can assert with confidence that they are truly the best RV generators you can buy right now.

Champion Power Equipment 4500W Wireless Start Inverter Generator

4500W Wireless Start Inverter Generator

This rock-solid block of generator excellence from Champion is about as perfect for RVing as it gets. Its 4,500-watt output is more than enough to run your entire RV, air conditioner included. At the same time, it’s surprisingly quiet, clocking in at just 61 decibels—about the same volume as a dishwasher.

The build quality is also outstanding, offering the kind of durability you want for many years of outdoor use. While it’s definitely heavy, it's fairly compact—about the size of a couple of car batteries—and an integrated handle and wheels make it fairly easy to move around.

Champion has a whole line of inverter generators, some of which are less expensive: I’m recommending this one because it features a remote starter, which I really appreciate when I don’t feel like messing around with a generator in the cold or dark.

Genkins GK2300i Portable Inverter Generator

GK2300i Portable Inverter Generator

This Genkins generator offers a surprising amount of functionality at a very low price. Its 2,300-watt output should be adequate for most, it’s extremely lightweight and portable, and its 53-58 decibel range is quiet as can be. The company didn’t skimp on safety features, as is sometimes the case with other lower-cost generators, so you can run it with peace of mind. It even offers a little luxury, in the form of a couple of USB-A ports.

The plastic casing doesn’t feel as substantial as pricier models, but that’s to be expected at such a bargain price. If you’re looking for a budget generator that will get the job done, this is hard to beat.

Jackery Solar Generator 3000 Pro

Solar Generator 3000 Pro

Solar generators come in all shapes and sizes these days, but I think the Jackery 3000 Pro is the best option for RV-owners, since it offers a lot of capacity without completely sacrificing mobility. What’s more, I’ve knocked one around more than a good bit and have been impressed with its durability. It’s my go-to when I’m road-tripping someplace like Moab, Utah, where sunshine is plentiful and I need a fairly portable setup.

While there are larger capacity options out there, including the EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra below, the 3000 Pro’s 3,000-watt/3,024-watt-hour performance should keep most RVs going for a couple of days, and it recharges fast assuming you have the right solar panels. If you’re new to solar, the bundle we recommend (and link to above) includes two of Jackery’s excellent 200-watt SolarSaga panels, which are more than capable of keeping you powered up.

While its near-100-pound weight isn’t exactly light, the burly integrated wheels and retractable handle make it easy to move around. There’s even an app that allows you to monitor its power levels and output from your phone. What’s more, I’ve knocked one around more than a good bit and have been impressed with its durability. For most on-the-go solar goals, this will deliver.

Pulsar GD400BN 4000W Super-Quiet Dual-Fuel Inverter Generator

GD400BN 4000W Super-Quiet Dual-Fuel Inverter Generator

Dual-fuel generators are very nice to have on an RV, because the two types work well in different scenarios: Running gas is easy to obtain just about everywhere you go, which makes it great for long, isolated trips or living off-grid, but makes a lot of noise. While propane isn’t quite as accessible, using it allows your generator to run more quietly. With two complementary modes, generators like the Pulsar GD400BN give you the ability to customize your generator’s performance to match your needs in the moment.

We like the GD400BN specifically because it's powerful, quiet and portable. With its 4,000-watt output, it’s more than capable of powering your entire rig, with the air conditioner, but it’s built solid and weighs less than 50 pounds. Another plug or two would’ve been nice–its single AC outlet limits things a bit if you have any reason to plug in power tools or equipment. For all intents and purposes, this is a very nice dual-fuel generator, and comes at a decent price to boot.

Honda EU2200i 2200W Portable Generator

EU2200i 2200W Portable Generator

At this point, the Honda EU2200i is nothing short of a campsite icon. You see them all the time at campsites, and with good reason: They are renowned for doing pretty much everything right.

Weighing in at just over 46 pounds and not much larger than a couple of stacked shoeboxes, this is about as portable as RV-capable generators get. It’s also one of the quietest options in its class, purring along at 47-58 decibels, or about the same volume as a normal conversation. Popular Mechanics Test Editor Brad Ford found the same thing in his testing, calling the EU2200i “remarkably quiet.”

“The EU2200i is ideal for camping and other outdoor events where generator noise might be frowned on,” he wrote in our guide to the best portable generators .

And its durability is outright famous: I have personally spent years on end bumping and bashing one all over the place and it just won’t break.

The primary downside is its 2,200-watt outage, which makes sense for its size but is relatively small if you’re powering an RV. Still, given how often you see it around, RVers are clearly okay working around its limitations.

EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra

Delta Pro Ultra

I can report from firsthand experience that theEcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra is an absolute performance monster, with massive output (7,500 watts) and enormous capacity (6,500 watt-hours), which you can expand further by adding extra 6,000-watt-hour batteries . I recently had one along for a cloudy camping trip where solar panels would have been useless, but it didn’t matter because its charge lasted a solid three days (though it was cool weather and I wasn’t using my a/c—for that you’ll need solar). It also charges very quickly: I charged mine via a wall outlet in about 2 hours. I could easily use this generator to back up my entire house so, needless to say, it can store and produce enough energy to handily power an a/c and everything else you may need in your RV—particularly with a good solar setup.

The downside to carrying a generator like this around—more capacity means more weight. At just over 180 pounds, it’s too heavy to move in or out of an RV solo. It’s more portable than you might think, though: You can remove the batteries from the generator, then carry it out in more manageable parts. Plus, the power station has wheels to help you move it around. Ultimately, the Delta Pro Ultra is probably overkill for most RVers, but it pushes the boundaries on what you can expect from an RV-compatible generator.

Bluetti AC200L Portable Power Station

AC200L Portable Power Station

Bluetti has a penchant for putting lots of performance into sturdy, outdoor-tough packages, and the new AC200L “yes ands” that by adding a ton of outlet options. Its 2,400-watt output is plenty for most RVs, and its 2,048-watt-hour capacity is decent if modest, but is expandable up to 8,192-watt-hour using the company’s stackable add-on batteries.

As for outlets, it’s got plenty of AC, DC, and USB ports. I tend to pack along a lot of cameras, drones, and other gadgets, and I’ve found that this generator is ideal for keeping everything charged in addition to offering all the core ports I need for the RV. Its compact portability and port-abundance also make it perfect for moving throughout camp whenever I need to power something outdoors. It charges extremely fast, going from 0-to-100 percent in about an hour when plugged into a wall socket or as fast as 2 hours with the right solar setup.

It’s a bit heavy for its modest size, but I love the AC200L’s outstanding durability. I brought one along to juice up e-bikes on a recent mountain biking trip. Gear tends to get used pretty hard at the trailhead, but this generator took it like a champ.

Westinghouse 4,500W Generator

4,500W Generator

If you want to be a good neighbor at your campsite, this generator from Westinghouse keeps the rumble to a minimum. Thanks to a special throttling system that only produces as much power as needed, it spins down when you aren’t drawing much rather than constantly roaring at full speed. That keeps the volume down, dropping to a decibel level akin to generators half its size at low usage. I’ve used older versions of what were essentially the same model; they were very quiet then, and reviews indicate the volume has gone down even more.

Its hefty 4,500-watt output is substantial, considering the lack of racket, and capable of powering an entire RV without issue. It also has a remote starter, which allows me to fire it up from the comfort of indoors.

This Westinghouse is fairly heavy, though a retractable handle, wheels, and lifting handles make it easier to move around. And its relatively compact shape passes through an RV door without too much trouble. All in all it provides ample power while keeping the noise to a minimum.

Q+A WIth Our Experts

line break

How long can I continuously run my RV generator?

Portable gas generators can typically run anywhere from 6-18 hours depending on their fuel capacity. When properly well-maintained, you should be able to run it until the tank runs dry, fill it back up, then start all over.

Remember: You should never attempt to refill the gas tank while the generator is running, which can lead to fires.

Where should I put my generator when I set it up outside?

You can keep it pretty close: Various experts recommend anywhere from 5-25 feet, but I’ve found that 5-10 feet is about right.

If you use a gas or propane generator, your primary concern is to keep the generator clear of doors and windows, as you don’t want to run the risk of carbon monoxide blowing into the RV. You also shouldn’t push up against a wall or other gear–keep well-ventilated on all sides.

Solar generators don’t have this issue, set it up wherever you need to for the best solar panel placement.

Can I run an RV generator in the rain?

You can but you shouldn’t. Electricity and water don’t mix, and running a generator in the rain can have unpredictable results. At best, it may fry the generator or your RV electrical system. At worst it could cause a fire or electrocute someone.

Clarence Thomas, in Financial Disclosure, Acknowledges 2019 Trips Paid by Harlan Crow

The justice amended an earlier filing to include vacations to Bali and an exclusive California club paid for by the Texas billionaire Harlan Crow.

  • Share full article

Justice Clarence Thomas sitting in an armchair and speaking. He is wearing a dark suit and a blue shirt with no tie.

By Abbie VanSickle

Justice Clarence Thomas acknowledged on Friday additional luxury travel he had accepted from a conservative billionaire, amending a previous financial disclosure to reflect trips he had taken to an Indonesian island and a secretive all-male club in the Northern California redwoods.

The trips, taken in 2019, were earlier revealed by ProPublica , but it is the first time that Justice Thomas has included them on his financial disclosures .

Other Supreme Court justices chronicled their gifts, travel and money earned from books and teaching. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson reported receiving four concert tickets valued at about $3,700 from Beyoncé and $10,000 of artwork for her chambers from the Alabama artist and musician Lonnie Holley .

The financial disclosures, released yearly, are one of the few public records available about the justices’ lives, providing select details of their activities outside the court. A steady drumbeat of revelations about ties between some of the justices and wealthy donors has only intensified interest in the reports, particularly after disclosures that Justice Thomas had accepted lavish gifts and travel from affluent friends over decades.

Books are one of the few ways that the justices can earn outside, uncapped money . Justice Jackson reported $893,750 from an advance for her coming book, a memoir. Justice Neil M. Gorsuch listed a book advance of $250,000.

Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh disclosed a $340,000 advance. He is working on a legal memoir, still untitled, and is expected to offer a firsthand account of his contentious confirmation hearing in 2018 and an attempt on his life in 2022. The deal was earlier reported by Axios .

Justice Sonia Sotomayor continued to earn royalties for her books, including about $87,000 in proceeds this year. She cited about $1,900 for voicing a character on an animated children’s show on PBS, “Alma’s Way,” about a Puerto Rican girl from the Bronx and her family. The narrative arc is not unfamiliar to the justice, whose Puerto Rican parents raised her in public housing in the Bronx.

The 2019 trips disclosed by Justice Thomas refer to two excursions with Harlan Crow, a Texas real estate magnate and donor to conservative causes. During one, he and his wife, Virginia Thomas, flew aboard Mr. Crow’s private jet to Indonesia, where they spent more than a week island-hopping on Mr. Crow’s superyacht.

Justice Thomas did not provide a dollar value on his disclosure form, but ProPublica had estimated that if Justice Thomas had paid for the plane trip and yacht himself, the trip could have exceeded $500,000.

The second trip, listed as a visit to Monte Rio, Calif., appears to be an excursion to Bohemian Grove, an exclusive retreat held on a 2,700-acre property in Sonoma County, north of San Francisco. Mr. Crow is a member of the club.

Justice Thomas did not report any gifts or private jet flights or travel from benefactors for 2023, the year covered by the most recent disclosures. He listed only one gift, a pair of photo albums worth $2,000 from Terrence and Barbara Giroux. Mr. Giroux is the departing executive director of the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, an exclusive group that includes figures at some of the highest echelons of society.

As a member of the group, Justice Thomas has granted it unusual access to the Supreme Court, presiding over an annual ceremony in the courtroom and meeting with and mentoring the recipients of college scholarships awarded by the group and worth millions of dollars a year; many come from backgrounds that mirror his own.

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. was granted an extension this year, said the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, which offers support for the federal judiciary and handles the financial records . That is in keeping with his typical practice. According to Fix the Court, an advocacy group critical of the court’s lack of transparency, for more than a decade he has delayed filing his disclosure.

Last year, both Justice Thomas and Justice Alito requested and received extensions on filing their disclosure forms. Neither cited a reason in asking for a delay.

The Supreme Court justice also included an amendment for his 2019 filing.

When his form was released to the public , Justice Thomas had included an unusual addendum, a statement defending his acceptance of gifts from Mr. Crow . In reporting a real estate deal, a sale of his mother’s single-family home to Mr. Crow, he said in the statement that he had “inadvertently omitted” such information, which also sought to justify his decision to fly on private jets. He stated that he had been advised to avoid commercial travel after the leak of the draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade. However, he did not list any private plane travel in 2023.

The Supreme Court, under mounting pressure and intense public scrutiny, adopted its first ethics code in November. Judges in lower federal courts have long been bound by a code, but the Supreme Court has never been subject to those requirements because of its special constitutional status.

Still the lack of enforcement mechanism or a process to handle ethics complaints drew criticism , as did the absence of any specific restrictions on gifts, travel or real estate deals.

However, the nine-page code cautioned that members of the Supreme Court should not participate in activities that “detract from the dignity” of the job, interfere with a justice’s ability to carry out official duties, “reflect adversely on the justice’s impartiality” or “lead to frequent disqualification.”
