How long will that genset run on 20lbs of propane with nominal draw?
We do have a large propane tank in place. We opted for a smaller gen set, its 14KW. Even though we have forced heat and A/C, satellite, big screene TV's, internet, we'll pump, we don't run everything at once. I opted to install a manual transfer switch to the breaker panel also. If power is out for an extended period, I can shut down the big generator, and plug in my little Honda on low, keep the refrigerator and Internet working so I can still view OTT, haha. The Honda will run 10 hours on 1 gallon of gas. I would need to fire up the larger genny to run and fill the well/ water system.
The main Idea is to be prepared. Have options at the ready, expect the worse, and when it's not that bad, be happy you were well prepared! I'm sitting in my living room in front of the wood stove enjoying free heat( using no power ( except the Internet on my phone)
