Using an LP generator with the Pod?

a) you don't need near 5500 watts.
b) it's going to be heavy, (+220 pounds when fueled) and noisy.
c) it's 220v AC native, so it's going to be unhappy running a single leg hard for any length of time.
d) it's a steady state genny, so it's going to not only burn a lot of fuel making watts you don't need and can't use, it's ALWAYS going to run that way.

I can find no LP native, small inverter generator. That's why you don't see them discussed. They don't exist.

Generac does have a LP3250, which would be somewhat better then this for pod use, but still not a viable answer for most. I note they give no dB rating.. that means.. "loud as heck".. Not going to be fun to camp around..

If you don't have to have Honda quality, reliability, and reputation, there are less expensive alternatives.

These just popped up on the radar.. some podders have bought them, as a pair, early reports are good. Still not Honda good.. but..

The Yamaha 2400iSCH has a very good reputation, and all reports are it runs the pod a/c fine..

I don't see it on Cosco's site, but Champion does say they now make such a thing. You lose some capability running it on LP, but it still *should* start the pods a/c.

Another issue is fuel density.  LP has about 73% of the energy of gasoline, plus a 20 pound LP tank has 4.7 gallons (many tank exchange companies put in much less).  So you'll need more tanks of LP.  

I have the Champion 2K watts inverter generator and have been pleased with it. I saw ( a week or two ago) that Camping World had them for just under $500.

It will not run the A/C. My thought on that subject is - if I need to run the A/C, I'll camp somewhere with hook ups. Running a generator all day, at full throttle, would be annoying and expensive. We can't run them at night due to the "quiet hours".
