A related question I had...looking into a similar arrangement myself...
I have an on-board Generac-rap LP 3600 that consumes approximately .4 gal. per hr @ 1/2 load. Carrying 2 30# tanks, it's good for short runs. If a/c is needed for 8 hours at night, find a 120v source, or dry camp next to a refill station. Camping off grid in temps from upper 30s down to mid 20s at night, using the genny to recharge the batts twice a day, I've blown through a 30# tank in 4 days. Not only are gas stations easier to find, but the regional price of gas is relatively stable. LP prices vary widely across the board in a single town. Lord help you if you roll into a small wide-spot in the road offering refills with no competition... $$$.
