I haven't noticed anything like that in the few years since I've been a member. It is well moderated and a fantastic resource for owners of V/Ns. They have expanded to two other groups, one being Modifications and the other Technical Aspects.

According to the Cummins/Onan specs, the sound level for both diesel and lpg generators is 68dB(A). Don't know about the smell. We are considering the VIA/REYO and would prefer the diesel generator since it is easier to find diesel than lpg on the backroads away from the highway. For me it fits in the category as nice to have but not essential. If I get a great deal on an rv with a lpg, then I would buy it.
Specs also show lpg consumption as 0.6gal/hr at half load and 0.7gal/hour at full load. Diesel is 0.3gal/hr at half load and 0.4gal/hr at full load. The View has 13 gal capacity lpg tank and 26 gal capacity for diesel. Hope this helps.

Generator Options
I like the idea of not having to fill that teensy LP tank all the time, so the "3,200 Watt Cummins Onan Diesel Generator" sounds convenient.
HOWEVER, I do like the "Quiet" part of the name of the other option: the "3,600 Watt Cummins Onan MicroQuiet LP Generator"!
Does anyone know if the LP generator is really a lot quieter? How long does it take to drain the 13 gal LP tank? For that matter, how many "gallons per hours" of diesel does that version use up on average (with A/C on)?
