I looked into an onboard, propane fueled generator for a camper about 10-12 years ago because the camper was plumbed and wired for one. It seemed like there was nearly a 75% premium compared to a similar gasoline powered version. I ended up with a Honda EU2000i and it's been a great little machine. We now have a motorhome with an onboard gas fueled Generac that takes care of our RV uses, but I've kept the Honda for potential use at home. We don't lose power like we used to, but I can run a lot of items, fridge, freezer, microwave, TV and even the furnace if I'm strategic. The fuel can be shut off and the carb run out, then the vent on the tank closed and the gas will stay acceptably fresh for quite a while as long as you don't use fuel with ethanol. It's when fuel is exposed to the atmosphere that it goes bad.LP is the way to go.
