On the other hand, isn't it illegal in many states to be riding inside a
towed RV?

On what other hand? Your question makes no sense in the context given.


Where did you ever get that notion? I have never felt the need to run
the generator underway.

I don't know why the guy had his running, but I do know the friends who bought the Winnebago Journey
use the generator to cool the rig. The little air conditioner in the 'cab' isn't sufficient when
driving where it's hot.

It's a 2012, same as our trailer. I believe it's actually the Journey Express - 34', Diesel pusher.

Thanks. I'll remember that for when we go RV hunting again.
