Generator and dimming lights

   Just bought new Rpod 171. I know zero about electrical stuff but totally willing to learn!!
1. I'm thinking about buying a generator instead of second battery. Is that wise? What lightweight generator is recommended for a 171 and where would I buy it?  Are there minimum specs I need to look for? 
2. The bright LED lights are driving me nuts. I am considering a film that goes inside the light. Anyone have experience with this or suggestions for how to tone down the lights? See link below.
3. Can I charge my battery with my xc70 volvo jumper cables?
