Diesel Generator vs LP

Thank you for your fast reply, one and all.
I guess several of the things that I am looking at are:
1. Traveling down the road and running the generator to power the A/C;
2. Doing a Wally World Camp...no hookups. How do you keep the lights on and the refrig cool (I know it will run on propane...but).
Guess that answers my question..in many ways, especially the GPH ratio..>WHEW<
Again, Thank You Very much.

With over 25 yrs playing the RV game with gasoline, lp fuel and diesel, diesel wibs in every way you can guess.
Fuel burn On a 7.5 gas, gasoline . 75 gph, lpgas 1.1 gph
Diesel on a 12 kw, .42 gph.
Simple

You pretty much answered your own question.

Are they viable?
Yes we have one
The real question is what is your camping leisure..style? How much will you use the generator?

If your going to be camping weigh hookups, going to resorts etc... using the generator very little, stick to LP

However, If you come from tent camping, and intent to do lots of dry camping in the backwoods or beach with no hookups, having a diesel generator running from the main fuel tank, has the runtime advantage over lp

It's a lot more convenient to just fill up one tank with diesel than it is to jockey around to also fill up with propane. Diesel is everywhere. While propane is certainly around, sometimes you have to look a little harder for it - make a second stop some place. Mine came with a diesel generator, that's what I prefer and it was one less detail to sort through. Also, after being around propane forklift engines for years, I find it a lot easier to find a diesel shop that can work on diesel engines than a good shop that can work on propane engines.
