Generators (Propane)
There was a recent post on another thread discussing propane powered generators. I found the following site that offers kits to convert gasoline powered generators to propane. The kit to convert a Honda 2000eui (which seems to be a popular generator for TM use) costs a little over $200 (depending on length of hose). Click on Honda Generator, then select model for kit description.

Has both Yamaha and Honda generators ready to go for trifuel operation. Pricey but very convenient.
Do I want one? Yes. Did I get one? No.

If your eyes were open which would you buy, and why? I've been looking at both and like the trifuel option.

If it was going to be my only generator I too would go with an EF2400.
If $$ is no object I think two EU2000 provide the most flexibility.

I am half way down the dual Honda 2000s path. Bought the first on in April 2005. The plan was to get a second one the first time we had a trip where I think I might want to run the a/c on the generator. So far that has not happened.
We bought 2 ATVs and a motorcycle this year. I always have gas in a can now anyway. The motorcycle requires 91 octane, so that is what I have in the can. 91 octane is a waste of money for the ATVs and the generator, but the quantity is so small I don't want to different grades of gas in two different cans.
I can not lift the Honda 3000 or the Yamaha 2400, so for me the dual (some day) Honda 2000s is probably the best choice.
If I was young enough to lift the Yamaha 2400 for a few years I might be more tempted to do that.
I have considered dual fuel, gas/propane, and decided that for me it just doesn't make any sense.

I would love to have a propane adapter for my Honda EU1000i. No more stinky gas can! But it seems to cost almost as much as the generator itself. So for me, it ain't gonna happen. I wonder why it is so expensive?

Assuming you drive a gasser, you could just siphon some gas from the TV to the generator. That eliminates the can, but introduces a different issue. Where to store the siphon hose.
