The DW thinks dual fuel is important. I’m not convinced it’s really needed.

How do you plan to use your rig? Occasional boondocking or long stretches off the grid? Most applications... DF is probably not necessary but it is a useful alternative. If you camp at higher elevations frequently, propane does not have fouling issues like gasoline does (read that as a maintenance item) because carburetors are typically jetted for lower elevations and run richer at higher altitude where there is less oxygen. Propane simply burns cleaner. Both will produce less power at altitude. Propane produces about 10% less power than gasoline so what you can run on gasoline may not run on propane (most cases not an issue but it could... just sayin'). Propane is more expensive than gasoline. The iGen4500DF is a hefty brute.... at 105 lbs not including fuel. For some that could be a make or break item.

Your call, not trying to sway you one way or the other.
