alann said:Sure, we do that in our Wanderlodge.

However, the fuel consumtion will be something less than a similar size gas genset.
RV Roamer said:Are you sure of that Ron? That would be surprising because propane has substantially less energy per gallon than gasoline (84,000 btus vs 114,000). And everybody I've ever known who had a propane generator said it literally gulps fuel.

alann said:Wife just asked "Instead of asking why don't you just look it up?" Again, she is right. : It is only a 2500 and Onan says at half load it should use about .3gl per hour. We shall see. Our maiden voyage (only one night due to work schedule ) will be the 26th/27th.
King said:Based on the Onan generator specs for the 2800 (gas) and identical 2500 (propane) and the current prices at the Mill Hall PA Flying J, the cost per KW per hr. for propane is higher.
Gas $2.799/gal, 0.3 gal/hr half load, 1.4 kW $0.5998/kw/hr
Propane $2.049/gal, 0.4 gal/hr half load, 1.25 kW $0.6557/kw/hr
