I have an FC35 with a 12.5 kW Diesel generator thats louder than a Who concert. I'd like to get a generator that meets national park standards so we don't always have to have power. Does anyone have any experience with sub 70db generators running on an older bird whith two AC units, battery charger and microwave? Can you get away with one of the 5.5 kW propane jobs?

I am replacing ours with a Onan quiet diesel. It is super quiet and lighter in weight.

What kw size did you go with? Did it fit w/o much modification? Are there any gotchas to watch out for or is install straightforward? Thanks in advance.

I would stick with a diesel generator. You have more fuel and with propane, you'll be filling up more frequently.
