A 5KW genset running flat out burns 4-5 gal an hour (mine in the sig pic is a 2006 Kohler) that's 10-15MPG @ 60MPH. Heck, the truck pulling the 40 footer can beat that.

4-5 gal/hr? Something doesn't sound right about that?
In any event, here, a trailer is $6/year to register.
Classic and antique plates come with restrictions, usually barring them from long trips or frequent leisure use.
If you don't have insurance, you must turn in your plates. Your driving privilege can be suspended if you don't.
If the trips occur more frequently than a couple times a year, it's probably worth looking into those options. Once or twice a year, I'll just use the generator I already have, and stop for a charge once in awhile.
You could do the math for a pack that goes 250 miles on a charge and figure out how long it would take to charge with a 5kw genset. Nominal output on mine was around 4250w continuous. I never ran it long enough at high output to pay attention to consumption.
