Duel-Fuel or Single-Fuel (Portable) Propane generator?

[Alfredapowell]

Anyone using Duel-Fuel or Single-Fuel (Portable) Propane generator?
For my vacation home, I’m trying to decide on“propane portable” for times of power outages. I already have a 100 gallon LP tank attached to the house, thus the propane choice. Also, I would not have to store gasoline. I can add another spigot from the existing LP tank or add another tank to feed the generator only. The load would include a refrigerator, some lights and a grinder/lift pump. For the winter months, I would want the option to add a couple of electric baseboard heaters if necessary. I think between 8,500-10,000 watts should be sufficient. I would install a 12-16 circuit manual transfer switch with a through-the-wall inlet box to safely connect the generator when needed.
Now, can I do this for under $1,500?
BTW, the water supply is a municipal community well, with diesel generator backup.

Just be aware, when running on Propane they produce less power. On propane, this one likely is about equivalent to your previous 2,000-watt generator.
But other than that this duel fuel runs great on Propane. Mines a monster I don't use for camping, it for my house, even runs the 4 ton AC.

I have a Champion 6500 Watt dual fuel.
Full wattage with gasoline, about 80% with propane.

I have a 5k duel fuel that I picked up for $200 10 years ago. Only ever use the propane as I don't like cleaning carbs and maintaining small gas motors. I would think 8k would be more than sufficient unless those baseboard heaters are 220v and pulling more than 2-3Kw a piece. Hard to know what the switching and fixtures would cost, if you were doing it yourself you could likely get it done for that price.

For reference, my 5k will run around 8 hours on one of those little bbq cans from the grocery store.
