I would use the propane gennie. Problem solved.
Couple of hundred dollar conversion kit for your existing gasoline generator... uscarbs.com for a start.
A 20# propane bottle equates to about 4 gallons of gasoline. If no propane, replace gas cans with brackets for 20# cylinders. (I have no RV experience, just propane generator experience.)
No need for a "kit" - or $200...:(
Central Maine Diesel
Send 'em your carb, it comes back in about 2 weeks modified for Tri-fuel.
The carb is returned "modified" - along with a regulator and the necessary fittings. (Guess that kinda makes it a "kit" also, LOL)
Cost was about $100.
May be more now - but liked their "program" better than US Carb.
Excellent service from Central Maine Diesel (I'm in So. CA) - and the natural gas, propane, gasoline "Tri-fuel" set-up - - although I have no desire to *ever* run my Yam 2400is on gasoline again.
Runs great on natural gas (at home) or propane on the road.
No gasoline "woes", StaBil or SeaFoam necessary..:C
Would "convert" again in a heartbeat if I bought a new gasoline powered generator - or would order same already converted to Tri-fuel.
I never checked the brands of diesel generators they carry, but they're in that business also.
(Usually -with the exception of Class A DPs - a diesel gen is impractical for other types of RVs due to the *weight* & noise).
Oh yeah - diesel p/ups since 1985 - along with lots of gasoline fueled toys (and before ethanol in gasoline) gas gens also.
It's *YOUR* job to work on *YOUR* plan for "Murphy Prevention"..:W
