We use both ONAN & KOHLER. Last time I checked ONAN's smallest was 20KW/240 VAC. KOHLER had more smaller units. The lack of choice is due to EPA compliance and then I think the economy, but not sure on the latter. If it does not get too cold or could be installed indoors [as in a shed] diesel gets more watts / gallon but LPG is cleaner to deal with.
