If I was running the gen and the furnace in really cold weather I'd be looking at around 24 to 30 hours per 65-gal tank fill. Not real practical. They both seriously drink propane.
Several years ago I added an Extend-A-Stay hookup to run the furnace and lately a small gas generator to provide the power if I run into a Texas freeze situation. I've needed it and didn't have it; now I've assured I won't need it.
The only reason to buy a MH with a propane generator is if you really really like the MH and it's a bargain price.
Maybe someone can answer; why were propane generators a fad for a while rather than gas or diesel? Price?
