There is a scenario in which problems occur: If your loads exceed the
generator capacity, the Outback system will fail. The Xantrex inverters
are superior in this scenario in that they will transition to invert mode
to synchronize with the generator and support the generator as long as the
batteries will sustain the operation of the inverter.

The propane and gasoline generators both ar premixed combustion and have a
low efficiency at part throttle/ part load. The Diesel does the best job
of maintaining efficency at low load. The outback can control its
charging current to the load limit of the generator. If the AC loads need
more power the Outback can reduce the charging rate until the AC load
diminishes.
It takes a lot of words to describe and decide what is the correct
generator sizing.
