I would use the propane gennie. Problem solved.
Couple of hundred dollar conversion kit for your existing gasoline generator... uscarbs.com for a start.

No need for a "kit" - or $200...:(

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.

You can do the same thing with uscarbs.com
A possible advantage to the uscarbs approach is that instead of drilling the carb, you have the option of slipping their "snorkel" - essentially a donut with a propane hose embedded - between the air cleaner and the carb body. Typically takes just a few minutes. If you want, you can return the generator to factory condition by simply removing it.
I have no experience with the other outfit, but you can read up on the uscarbs approach at their forum: US CARBS HELP FORUM
He already has a propane generator on the RV.
