Are LP generators a pain
I've been looking for months on downsizing from my 30ft class C to something 24ft or less. I do like some of the B's but it seems the majority have LP generators. Is that as big of a pain as it soun...

They are a big pain from the stand point they are thirsty but the fuel supply is quite limited. The big plus from having a gasoline powered generator is it's ability to drink from the large on board gasoline tank.
For an example, about 5 years ago, when I had a Roadtrek, we were at the college football CFA game against Alabama in Atlanta. I jumped off the interstate to fill up with gas before going to the Georgia Dome. We arrived Friday morning. Atlanta during Labor Day weekend can be hot as Hades. We ended up having to run the generator and AC for 36 straight hours. On Sunday when we left, there was still plenty of gas in the tank. I just filled up shortly after leaving Atlanta. This never could have happened with a propane powered generator.

Is that as big of a pain as it sounds? Always having to worry about your LP tank levels, finding a place to fill the tanks, and the rumor is they are fairly loud?
I like the simplicity of a generator pulling from the coach's gas tank but it's just because I've never had a LP genset
