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...

I have an onan lp generator in the MH.
Pros - seems to run quieter, longer service intervals, and no concerns with fuel treatment that you have with gasoline.
Cons - not easily refilled while camping. I have no problem finding lp while traveling but not good to run out while boondocked.
I have never checked run time per gallon of lp but last trip the generator ran around 14 hours on 6 gallons of lp. I would guess about one gallon of lp for two hours run time.
