I really like the 3500RL with the option to close in the living room as a bedroom. They are nice looking units with the transom glass over the doors. As with the 3400RL, I like the w/d closet and open bathroom. You'll have a deeper pantry than ours.
Looks like the pin weight is nearly 500 lbs lighter than our 3400RL, so you might slip in spec with the 3/4 ton, although it seems each truck manufacturer offers different payloads. The generator itself weighs 294 lbs setting on the landing gear, so I would plan for about an additional 100 lbs pin weight.
I like the propane generator because I don't have to worry about the hazards of a gas tank or carrying gasoline. I also don't have to worry about sour fuel the next spring. Fuel consumption is about the same between the two, so about 10-13 hrs is all you'll get out of the fuel. The only advantage to gasoline is it doesn't interfere with your LP supply, but we have never found that to be an issue with our type use.
Regardless of what you decide, have fun!
