I converted my Onan to Propane, as I didn't want to carry gas. We pulled into Little Rock, two weeks ago at 96degrees (feels like 102), after towing all day with outside temps over 105. I started the gen and the A/C as we waited to register, pull to our site and setup. turned it off after I connected shore power, and the ATS switched back.
Also started it at a rest stop to heat some stuff in the microwave for lunch.
can't do that very easily with a portable.
Actually, our 5th wheel has a generator prep with a 50 amp twist-lock Marinco receptacle on the front of the 5th wheel. We carry 2 Yamaha EF2000iS generators (paralleled) in the back of the truck that are connected to the 5th wheel via a 30 amp cord. We can run the Yamahas going down the road to pre-cool the 5th wheel, run the microwave, etc.
