I wouldn't worry about the fuel consumption of the Onan. According to the specs, it uses .28 Gal/hour at half load (1400 watts). This is about the same as the Honda specs. True, this number might be optimistic, but still.
You mention your safety concerns - how safe do you feel carrying a gas can with you to feed the portable generator? Where would you put it?
I have an Onan and wouldn't change it for the world. At $600 if it's actually an opened box - so essentially new - it's a steal.
If I were you, I would have the vehicle checked over by a good independant mechanic before leaving on my first trip. That is great peace of mind.
