Propane RV Generators:


To choose the best propane generator for your needs, you should consider factors such as your power requirements, budget, portability, noise level, and safety features. You can also read reviews and compare different models online to find the best deal and quality.

Propane generators have many advantages, such as longer shelf life, lower emissions, and easier storage. Propane generators can also provide reliable backup power for homes, RVs, and outdoor activities.

Some Disadvantages of Propane Generators:


Propane portable generators are a type of generator that can run on both gasoline and propane, a cleaner and more affordable fuel source. However, propane generators also have some disadvantages, such as lower efficiency, higher maintenance, and limited availability. Propane generators may not perform well in cold weather, require more frequent oil changes, and depend on the supply of propane tanks. Propane generators can still provide reliable backup power for homes, RVs, and outdoor activities, but they may not be the best option for everyone.

Onan RV propane generators are a special class of generator sets that are designed to be installed into various types and sizes of vehicles available in the RV industry. This could include special conversion buses, "Winabago" type campers, large towable campers, and even some smaller camp trailers. Many of these units are installed inside an enclosure underneath the main RV body, but some may be roof mounted or even rear or front rack mounted.

One of the unique features of these Onan generators is the extra sound abatement, and muffling that has been built into the product line. In some campgrounds (including State and National Parks) there are now strict noise limits so that RV campers do not disturb their neighbors, and the acceptance of portable electricity may be grudging (at best). So be aware of the local camping protocols before starting up any power equipment!

The small portable camp generator sets are covered here because they sometimes may be purchased in addition to an RV generator, or in the case of a small "pop-up" camper might make more sense than a "real" Onan RV propane generator. These are really very small lightweight portable generators that are usually built to be very quiet during operation. These units generally can only operate a single small appliance at one time, (i.e., a radio, TV, hairdryer, or a couple of lights.)
