The 28 RLS Keystone Bullet running on the Honda 3000is made life easy, and it felt like we were camping for the week instead of living in the misery of the tropical heat.
I could fill it up at 6pm and then shut it down in the morning just after 6 am.. It would take just about 3 gallons of fuel.. 3 gallons for 12 hours at night is not bad at all. In the day time heat, the Honda would last about 8 or so hours on the same 3 gallons of fuel.
So if a EU3000iS ran 24 hrs day that would be 7.5 US gals of fuel, or here in Canada ~ 28.4 litres, which at a current average of ~ $1.35 Cdn per litre would work out to ~ $38 Cdn a day, or $266 Cdn a week just for fuel. :E Obviously if you need power but don't have it there's not much choice other than to run a genset but I wouldn't exactly call that "fuel efficient" considering I can rent a 30 amp electric site in our Ontario provincial park system for about the same and not have to bother with a genset at all. ;)
The OP is not interested in electric campsites.
Maybe you can tell him where to get a REALLY long extension cord for an efficient price.:S
