Subject:Generators/Camping/Westies

Anybody with stories/recommendations/pitfalls/benefits, etc having to do
with carrying a generator for electricity when camping in a Westy?

Since my '79 lacks propane capability for the fridge, I've become aware of
it's limitations when sitting idle  (i.e., after maybe 5 hours, the fridge
will drain my battery )

So, I've been considering getting a teeny little generator, just enough to
run the fridge, and maybe a small ceramic heater if I'm fall/winter
camping.

Stories, anyone? I'd especially be interested in ideas of where to mount
such a machine -- I'm thinking about the front bumper, but maybe that's a
bit risky....?
