Get solid info about propane usage on generator you are considering.
I have inverter generator build in in my 2004 camper, that suppose to use much less than constant speed generators, yet still the way I camp- I don't use AC and the generator is not only dead weight, but takes pretty big storage.
Than even considering that I might go camping to Nevada, where do I find propane station there? Not like carrying 5 propane cylinders is going to be as easy as 4 gas cans.
Lot of things to consider, but would I "build" my camper like I we can build our trucks, I would order one without generator, only 25lb propane cylinder as the 70lb I am carrying is dead weight as well and just have vented storage to put Honda 2000 or equivalent in it.
Even having build-in generator in old motorhome, I did carry Honda 3000 with me.
Honda3000 run my 15k AC constantly for 13 hr on 2.5 gallons tank.
Take a piece of paper and calculate.
