I have one in my garage, and was wondering.

This may be a stupid question, but what's a genny? The only thing I can figure is generator (and I didn't read all the other posts carefully so if I missed it somewhere else, I apologize). An lp generator doesn't make any sense to me.

We have a gas grill but we just carry the little camp canisters- they're about 6 inches diameter by 10 inches tall- ish.

genny = generator

Fuel consumption rate is:
0.9 full load per hour
0.6 half load per hour

Its an Onan 5500 that turns 2,400 rpm at full load.
290 lbs

I have a complete unit set up including the control panel,.....but I don't know if I will use it, the fuel consumption is pretty high compared to a unit like the Rig Master. Its also air cooled, and I would rather have a liquid cooled unit.
I do have an LP fill station down the road from me, but it may not be as cost effective as the diesel units.

Thanks for the great info, it helped a great deal
