No, Onan gensets do not have fuel tanks.
You will need to increase the size of your propane tanks to have sufficient fuel to run the rig and the genset.
Gensetwill be sucking lots of fuel to run two AC units, converter to charge batteries.
Two 12 volters will not last long!
What size are your current propane tanks?
It all depends on the usage , but yes they like their propane. I have the Onan 5500 LP , ordered it with the fifth wheel. Have not had propane issues ,but again we don't run it a lot.
Not sure why the OP wants to run the air conditioner while traveling, unless they want it cooled down when stopping. I would think firing up the generator, and turning the air on would work after stopping, but if not then be prepared to have a source for propane or haul an extra tank or two.
Never found the need for up sizing the tanks , but thats an option , if there is room in there. IMO the Onan LP is the only way to go. Propane does not foul the fuel system, but does use a bit more fuel .
