I recently had this conversation with myself too...
In my camper van I have a couple of leisure batteries, usually an extra one for charging off, and the engine battery too... And a decent 3-stage charger.
I've had those batteries for about 3 years now, all still very happy - I swear a good charger helps keep them in good condition.
But for some reason I decided I needed a gennie to go with it. I've used it once since I got it, I'm not sure it was worth it, really, for race meeting use at least.
I personally think the Kipor's are noisy, but I'm a delicate little flower, so I went for a Honda EX650 off of ebay.
