Propane versus gasoline generator
Do propane generators suffer from the same problems as gasoline ones, namely the dried up laquer problem in the carb and jets? Isn't it a no brainer to have a propane generator since then you share...

What type of generator? Built in, or portable?
If built in, what type of RV? Class A/B/C, or towable?
How will you use the generator?
What I would suggest for a generator fuel source greatly depends on the answers to the above questions.
To cut to the chase, the only area I might prefer propane is in a towable. Portable generator I would definitely want gas. A RV with a motor, I would prefer the fuel source that the motor runs on.
Even with a towable, I am not sure that the propane is the way to go (and I have a built in propane powered Honda in my 5th wheel. For little stuff like charging batteries, using the microwave, hair dryer, toaster, etc. propane is fine. But when I go and boondock and need to run the air conditioning, it just uses too much fuel. I think it would be much easier to fill with a 5 gallon gas can than to switch out the propane bottles.
