Right now I have a Champion 2000 W Inverter Generator that runs on gas. I have noticed though that there are generators now coming out that run on propane or can run on either. Anyone ever use one of these? Just thinking since I am putting in a bigger propane setup at camp, I may go propane if my Generator ever craps out. I wouldn't have to worry about running out of fuel.

Another advantage of propane power is clean oil for a lot longer and no gummed up carbs.

I have two propane generators, both coincidentally given to me. The manual for the Onan says consumption is:

GAS
.4 gph no load
.7 half load
1.3 full load

PROPANE
2.1 lbs. hr no load
4.1 half load
6.6 full load

Yes, they are very useful if you choose the model you need. If you still consider buying a good propane generator, get helpful info on it on https://lawngardentop.com/best-power-generator/best-propane-generators. All pros and cons of every model are explained in a proper way, there is no use to retell it here again.
