What sort of info are you looking for?
FWIW. We have an Onan Propane generator in our current trailer and had one in our previous trailer that we owned for 10 years. For the most part, it gave us no problems. The only time we had a problem is when it was very cold (in the 20's in our case, cold to us but maybe not to you considering where you live) but we were able to get it started. I'm not a tech sort of person in the generator dept, but I like the propane as opposed to the diesel or gas generators as I don't like having the extra gas tank. The propane tanks are easy to deal with as I can get them on and off when needed. I think the problem we had in the cold was due to the the way the propane acts when it is cold. You just have to know how to deal with it going in, I guess. Hope this is helpful in some way.

Gas generators are easier to use. You have to fill propane bottles at a camp or RV fill site. Propane generators use more fuel and have a little less power. really. that is what the RV people in the know told us....But, if you want to go with propane, cool.
