I'm confused... is the OP wanting a portable generator that is dual fuel or triple fuel, or is a built in genset something he wants?
Thanks for all the great responses. These things are never as simple as I originally think that they will be.
To clarify, I've been doing weekend camping in a TT (pic below) for the past 9 months. So far in all that time, only once was there an outtage at a campground. So not a big issue based on experience, but the Boy Scout in me wants to be prepared.
So . . . extended dry camping (at least for now) is not an issue.
Requirements (most important from top to bottom):
1. Portable. I have no storage in the TT so I will need to heft it in and out of the back of the pickup tow vehicle. So, 50 to 75 lbs max fully loaded.
2. Capacity. It has to be able to run my AC unit.
3. Fuel. Don't care too much about fuel type, but fuel storage is the main issue. Propane tanks are most convenient since they are already mounted on the trailer frame. Any other fuel will have to be stored in the generator fuel tank and a bottle in the back of the pickup truck.
Thanks.
Regards,
Steve.
