I think i may have confused the discussion - we have a 10kw "portable" northstar (gasoline) that we have/use in case of hurricanes.

Our COACH has an Onan 10kw QD which runs on diesel only.

we run the generator quiet a bit (w/out shore power, its the only way to run our house air conditioners)...several times a year we make 20+ hour "runs" (houston to virginia), if its even remotely hot we run the "house" ac (going down the road).

if we're not connected to shore power and the dog is in the coach - the generator runs

we run the generator to/from camp grounds & while loading the coach w/ gear (when parked in front of the house)....remember we live in texas.

several times a year ill go to motorcycle races (no dog)....when no one is in the coach (hot or not) - we choose not to run the generator...after the races, in the evenings & at night, we run the generator to recover the batteries and run the tv & appliances.

ill get dimensions on our lp tank later today...its roughly the size of one of our 60 gallon fuel tanks and it takes up an entire "basement" bay (on the road/drivers side).
