Thanks Bill, that's a good insight. Just keeping gum out of the generator would be a big win in my opinion. We'll be adding solar to the bimini sometime in the future (probably late this year or early next year), but down here in Florida, if we're out cruising and not at a dock (the transient slips tend to be over $100 a night down here), a generator to run the A/C would be highly desirable. I love the idea of it running off the propane even if I have to get a long hose to run from the propane locker in the stern all the way up to the bow (we sleep in our stern berth).

Like the propane dinghy outboards (Lehr), NO gum in the fuel system. There is a cost from lower BTU in propane than gasoline, but if you already use propane for the Magma, you have the fuel (hopefully in the right spot).
