Looking for Tiny Generator ?

I am working on a custom Kitchen/Storage/thing....

I want a TINY generator, that will charge my 12V system and run small appliances. Need maybe 1800W (15A) to run a microwave directly. Most lights will be LED and everything else will be 12v, and I am going SMALL. Does anyone know of a SMALL RV type Propane generator? Don't want to carry Gas cans if I am already carrying Propane. Prefer something I can build in (RV style) rather than something that I have to unpack and run cords (and a fuel line) to...

PS...is this the right section for people who camp Hybrid? Ie, tent plus a Travel box with a kitchen, storage, and stuff but no sleeping area?

    How much will you be using the generator?
    1. Propane generators use a lot of propane.
    2. When people ask about tiny generators the conversation normally goes to the honda eu2000, the small yamaha or similar. They use very little gas so you might not need to carry much with you. The honda is very quite.
    3. I don't know of any tiny propane generators. I have seen people modify the honda EU2000 to run off propane, but it makes the unit bigger.
    4. Have you considered solar?
    5. How long will you be away from home for? Have you considered more batteries?
