Diesel fuel is the most power dense, relatively portable and reliable. Diesel fuel is also the most expensive, non-renewable and produces greenhouse gasses. A best-case diesel power scenario would be an initial generator cost of $20,000 plus $1,000,000 in fuel costs. Shipping, operation and maintenance expenses would also need to be added. Depending on load factor (BSFC) and cost of fuel, a diesel generator will make power in the range of $1 to $40 per kWhr. Maximum power is limited to 15 kW. A solar system's capacity factor is about 12%; therefore, a 100 kW system must be purchased to produce an average of 12 kW.
Not always, but in most cases, you will want your RV generator fuel type to match your RV â especially when forgetting about the propane/NG option and talking only about diesel and gasoline. So, if you own a diesel RV the best diesel RV generator is the Generac QuietPac 8,500W.It is specifically designed for Class A motorhomes with single or dual roof A/C. It sports low rpm speed control to maximize fuel economy by preventing/eliminating speed changes. If you have a gasoline RV get either a gasoline or propane generator. 2  Propane can be stored indefinitely whereas gasoline has a shelf life of about 6 months and diesel 14 months. 3  If you go on long and isolated trips, youâll probably want the propane powered RV generator.
