According to the Cummins/Onan specs, the sound level for both diesel and lpg generators is 68dB(A). Don't know about the smell. We are considering the VIA/REYO and would prefer the diesel generator since it is easier to find diesel than lpg on the backroads away from the highway. For me it fits in the category as nice to have but not essential. If I get a great deal on an rv with a lpg, then I would buy it.
Specs also show lpg consumption as 0.6gal/hr at half load and 0.7gal/hour at full load. Diesel is 0.3gal/hr at half load and 0.4gal/hr at full load. The View has 13 gal capacity lpg tank and 26 gal capacity for diesel. Hope this helps.
Those specs are based on the generator alone and do not account for how it's mounted. The diesel generator on the V/N sets up a low frequency which is exacerbated by the structure. It is significantly louder than other RV generators. I should know as I have one.
