Diesel Generator

We have a diesel dually with an aux. diesel tank in the bed so I"m thinking of going with a diesel generator since I wouldn't have to carry around an additional type of fuel. Just wondering if any of you have a diesel generator and what your opinion is on this option instead of just going with a gas.

I know just getting a Champion or Predator gas generator would be a lot cheaper. Is it worth the extra $$ to go with a diesel one?


Thanks.

I would be concerned about the added noise of a diesel generator

I never thought of diesel when I got my 2 predators... I do see the draw with only getting 1 fuel. can you get diesel generators that are quite like an inverter?

Not as quiet as inverter but you can get a 4 pole diesel that runs at 1800rpm instead
of the usual 3600rpm. This makes it much quieter than conventional gas genny.
Also makes it heavier and more expensive. (More copper used)
