Anyone use or have experience with one? A family member has one they never use and I'm thinking of getting it from them it is a LP3250 rated output is 3250 watts.

I would use it for occasional tailgate/car camping power and it would be my backup in the event of a (rare) power outage for essential item power.

Any thoughts or should I just go with the traditional gas powered? I haven't even asked how much they'd want but it's family and I don't see them trying to stick it to me by any means.

Thanks!

Propane EGen

Pro:
-Carb will never varnish / gum up.
-Fine for tailgate/camping & short duration use.


Con:
-Fuel cost much more
-You probably won't have enough fuel to last you much more than a day in the event of a prolonged power outage
