We had an Onan 4K microlite gas installed in a prev 5th wheel, it had so many issues and was hard to get parts, had to remove it to work on, never again. Also very costly. Folks that have propane units say they use a lot of fuel.

We went with the Honda 3000 portable and mounted it on a slide out tray in the front lower compartment and just slide it out, plug in and run. Can stow away in a few seconds. Its does us fine. Easy to get repaired if it ever needed it. So far 5yrs no issues. I did build an enclosed compartment to stop any exhaust issues inside while it was running out on the tray.

I would most likely go with 2 2000 units next time. Easier to move around and if one had an issue, still have another. Can run just one for most times and save fuel. Can use at home for many uses too.
