We do a lot of boondocking and have a factory installed Onan 5.5KW Gas Gen installed in the front compartment. We also have solar panels on the roof, extra 6VDC golf cart batteries, and a 3KW inverter to run the coffee pot early in the mornings, computers during the day, or what ever else we want.

We chose gas/installed simply because of the weight of the unit. Diesel is about 250 pounds heavier. So, diesel truck, gas gen, and propane furnace. This combo seems wierd but it works well for us.
