You should state the kind of generator(s) and how much gas you expect to use.
I have a pair of Honda 2000 watt generators with an extended run kit. That kit is just an outboard motor fuel tank with assorted hose and fittings. I picked up an additional fuel tank at a yard sale and can swap out an empty in seconds. Outboard tanks lay flat, quickly connect and disconnect, and seal up well for transport. They are awkward to use as a gas can for refilling the generator tanks, but with a large folding funnel it can be done. I store the generators in wheeled luggage style bags, and the tanks with hoses in a cardboard box. Everything goes in the truck bed.
If I know that the generators will be used soon, I fill their tanks at the start of a trip. The outboard tank(s) will be filled near the camping spot. One disadvantage of having a diesel truck is the inability of dumping the generator tanks when no longer needed.
