I would just use an LP generator designed for RVs and hook it to your existing propane supply. That would eliminate having to buy and install a gasoline tank.
Pick a storage compartment, partition it off. line it with sheet metal, and install the unit. The Onan unit in my TC has installation instructions with it. It would make a good guide for cutting the hole in the floor.
