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.
An RV class generator is the best way to go if you do not have one already. It has 3x the horsepower of ordinary generators. They are also built for years of continuous use. A portable generator is a viable option, but you need to save your dollars for an RV class generator.he type of fuel you choose should be whatever is most compatible with your travels. You will need to know the type of fuel your current RV generator uses, if you are replacing a generator in a used RV. Also, measure the generator compartment to ensure a good fit. 1  Diesel-powered RV generator.
