Subject: 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..
