I am one of the few here that have actually set up a TT to do this. It CAN be done.
Onan Microquiet 4.0
wired with a ATF.
custom stainless steel 26 gallon gas tank for it.
That sounds like a nice setup. I've tried to think of ways to add a generator to my 5th wheel.
One question though, why bother with gasoline to run a genset? The TT has two 30lb propane tanks that should run a genset for a long time. If it were me I'd put a propane carb kit on the generator engine and run from that fuel source to keep things simple.
One drawback may be that you'll use up your propane. Sure, but places like Flying J offer propane fill ups, so you can top off your tanks while you're traveling.
