I do know a lot of people on other RV forums don't like LP generators on a diesel pusher and will encourage folks not to buy pushers with LP generators.  The primary reason most don't like about them is lack of fuel capacity.  The LP tank doesn't last a real long time on most diesel pushers.

If you can live with limited runtime or have a large LP tank you will probably be happy.

Clifford,

I have heard about the loss of output, but 6.5kw is still enough for 2 AC's.  We actually get by with one most of the time.  It's one of those things that I will weigh more seriously when I get to the point of action.

Robert,

I would suggest though that if you are going to use propane for a generator, it would be best to have a removable tank also.  We have a 45-50 gallon mounted tank, but a valve to switch the supply to a 7 gallon portable tank.  My theory is to use the portable tank first, and switch to the permanent tank when needed.  That way you can take advantage of whichever fill is available.
You don't have to believe everything you think.

My Honda 6010 LP runs both ac's without any problem. I do have a pulse switch that allows me to alternate or isolate either the front or the back if all I have is a 110 or 30 amp hookup. On the gen I just run them both.
