Hi,
Propane only has 95,000 Btu's per gallon, while gasoline is 115,000 Btu's per gallon, so already you will be consuming more fuel each hour than a gasoline generator. Also it is more difficult to refill a propane tank than a gas tank. The gas tank, you can use a portable fuel tank, or take it to almost any gas station and refill a tank in about 2 minutes. It takes more time to pay for it than fill it. Even if you are using pay at the pump with a credit card.
Propane you have to go to a particular station or propane sales place, then fill it, then go to pay for it. Many times I am stuck out by the propane filler waiting on a clerk to fill my tank, so I have to wait several times. It might take 15 minutes to fill a tank.
Try this website. Most like the 2000 watt Honda's and use two of them to pair up and power a 30 amp RV, and they are easy to lift at only about 47 pounds each.
Mayberrys.com You have to call them to get the correct price, as Honda will fine their vendors who publish a price under the MSRP on the internet.
