You say your generator will be using propane. Have you checked with rental co on that? Most Ford chassis gas powered class c rigs have a gasoline generator.
Just spoke with the Cruise America folks who said that the generator is powered by gasoline and draws from the main 55 gallon gasoline tank. Yeah!! The generator burns roughly a gallon of gas per hour. I am new to RV.Net and really appreciate the insights and the willingness to share.
The generator should use more like half a gallon an hour, of course varying somewhat depending on its load. Probably saying a gallon an hour is easier for CruiseAmerica and people are generally happier when something uses less fuel than they expected than vice-versa.
RV generators usually are set up such that they cannot run from the last quarter of a tank of fuel, incidentally, to prevent you from running out of gas using the generator and then being unable to get to a filling station.
