Very nice setup! Not really comparable to the more compact units they throw in RVs though typically is it? Is that an air cooled or liquid cooled unit? I like the idea of feeding it from the trucks diesel supply, makes sense and keeps it and the weight out of the trailer.
So folks with an S-Class/Solitude have not had any issue swapping out the factory 30# tanks for 40s? That is something I am very interested in doing as myself. I can keep the 30s as backups then (I assume they would fit upright in the passthrough? Down the road I would love to get solar but just pricing out batteries and inverters kept that from getting spousal approval for the time being.2019 GMC Sierra 3500HD Denali Diesel DRW (Crew Cab | 8 Ft bed | OEM Puck System | Curt Gooseneck Ball for OEM Puck | Timbrens on rear axle)

If you plan to dry camp for an extended time propane is a major pain. Three days in the woods with 50% AC and you are out of propane. Try to find propane at these remote areas? I’m trying to figure out gas tank placement in my rig.

I do want to clarify something about gasoline generators. You can mitigate the storage issues by using ethanol-free fuel. It does not have the issues that fuel with ethanol has. You can additionally treat it with something like Seafoam for really extended storage. We have 30+ gallons on board in our Momentum (usually closer to 60), and I've never had an issue starting or running the generator. It's available just about everywhere now. Pure-gas.org can help you find a local supplier.
The other key is to start the generator and run it for at least 1 hour 2 times a month. According to a local Onan tech I had the chance to talk to while he was working on a full-building backup unit at my former employer (they work on everything Onan), if you do that and run ethanol-free fuel and do regular oil changes, you can prevent 99 percent of the issues that will come up on the smaller Onan units.Last edited by [email protected]; 07-06-2019 at 05:12 AM.

Yes the 40 pound tanks fit just fine. My dealer threw in a couple at delivery and I bought 2 more 30 pounders. If need be I can carry all 6 bottles (200 lbs) of propane with me for extended use. The 40's are a bit of a bear to lift up into the compartment when full though lol

Ya, the generator is a big part of why I want the 40s haha
Res. fridge in my trailer so only other propane use is grill, stove, furnace, and water heater. Of those, only the furnace would be a big consumer and then only part of the time each year.2019 GMC Sierra 3500HD Denali Diesel DRW (Crew Cab | 8 Ft bed | OEM Puck System | Curt Gooseneck Ball for OEM Puck | Timbrens on rear axle)

I have a 375 RES and a diesel generator I was going to hook up. The generator I have has an L14-30R (120/240V) receptacle, an L6-30R (240v) receptacle and L5-30R (120V) receptacle.
How did you wire the outlet from the QD into the 50 amp RV plug? I assue you have similar 30 amp plugs on your QD and are hooking into the 50 amp plug.Extra Class Ham Operator WB0YD
