Seems to me an LNP powered generator would be a better solution. Some are
designed to be installed indoors and ducted outside so that eliminates a
lot of the issues with gasoline powered generators.

We have one at Netlink, it kicks on once a week for 10 minutes just to keep
the engine in good working order. We haven't had to do anything to it, it
just works. Recommended maintenance is like once every 3 years change the
oil unless it gets a lot of use.

A couple of my friends have these at their houses as well, hooked up to the
gas line but you could hook up to an LNP tank just as easily. The
technology has been around forever, most towmotors run on LNP.
