Yes, this is the golden answer that I hope will become reality. This gives us the flexibility to only carry what we need and still go big if required.
Short trips during certain seasons would only require the 2500W unit. Other times we might want to take the 3400W. We would have the option of both, if the A/C or other power demands require it.
So far, the best I have found is about $600 for the 2500W Dual fuel unit. I might be able to work a military discount for about $100 off that. Still checking.
It would seem that the Champion kit to link the generators does provide a 30Amp RV receptacle and it can be connected to just one generator (not linked). This would eliminate the 20A reducer pigtail and prep me for adding another one at some point. Of course it does not change the output of the generator. In effect, it keeps a heavier gauge wire in the line from the generator to trailer.
Local test run is in about two weeks. The trailer has been in storage for 7-8 months, so I really need to get everything checked out and tested. That will give me the time and opportunity to re-evaluate the front compartment and do a little overdue house cleaning.

Hi TIm;
Generator runs fine on propane. I have had trouble getting the link kit that I want (100319 I think), as no one has it in stock at a reasonable price. I'll check again before the next outing.
The 15k AC will not run on one generator, at least mine won't. The sounds were horrible and I stopped the attempt. Yours might be just fine. I have heard that it varies greatly unit ot unit.
Soft Start is a must and it is on my list as a priority item.
Other than the AC, regular RV operations were fine with the one genset. Everyone operates differently, but it worked for us. The generator was quieter than I expected. Operated smooth as expected. I have found the connector to LP tank fitting is a bit finicky to get a no-leak connection. I suspect this is more of a tank issue than a hose issue. Some of the tanks in the exchange racks are not the best.
For now I haul it in the back of the Crew cab until I work out a better arrangement. When in operation it sits under the king pin on the trailer.
I think that was the long way to say: Yes, I think you will need the soft start.

Look at the Harbor Freight link kit they may work. I just got my 5hr break in run done and changed the oil. I tried running the AC and my WatchDog ECM barked at me big time, shut down because of low voltage. Next up, Soft start kit. Do a search there are many $25 off coupons out there.
