anybody have any recommendations on a good propane generator? noise level and reliability takes precedence over size and cost, although it does have to fit in a truck camper.

Onan MicroLite is pretty much your only option. They're a great generator although parts and service on them is pretty expensive, on propane they don't have the stale gas and carb plugging up problems that the gas versions do.

They're meant for camper installations, they run at half the RPM that a portable generator runs at, and they're insulated well to keep the noise down.

there are some chinese knock-off versions of this generator but I wouldn't recomend them.

i`ve got a couple buddies out at cummins northwest maybe I can work me a deal on that onan, they had one at sams club for 800 but it was some no name piece of junk.
