Couple notes to reply above
-so called diesel heaters also have gasoline version. I am still considering separate tank for heater, who mounted in compartment will not be subject to gelled diesel in arctic temperatures.
- my 1000W inverter generator take a cup of gas per hr when on lower load. I never camp in temperatures below 0F, but had been in -25F and it was not fun. The Honda generator would not start in those temperatures.
So I think for such low temperatures, you need to keep generator in warm place and start it early in the evening to avoid bad surprises.
Those small generators also have small gas tanks, so making it extended run would be my priority.
Also at such low temperatures propane evaporation comes to drizzle and batteries start to choke.
