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..

So other than those issues...It's Perfect!!! Thanks for the info. I'm very happy to have this forum to lean on. 

I guess I'm back to trying decide between paying X for a 2000W or quite a bit more to run the AC. 

Thanks again for the info!
