I had a Honda EU10 with lpg conversion which was a brilliant machine. The only problem I found in the 12+ years of ownership was that I didn't need it! Only needed to use it twice in all that time and one of those jump leads would have done the job.

I have the Champion 3500, I have plumbed it into the gas. Made a soundproof box and fitted fans for ventilation. The exhaust passes through the floor with a stainless steel exhaust extension with heat resistant cover fitted.
I also fitted a smoke alarm and co monitor near it. It is very quiet but you can still hear an exhaust burble, thinking of fitting an inline silencer to further reduce noise. I have only used it when wild camping.

I tried powering the whole van and it managed it, microwave, solid hob, electric heater, water heater and it managed

Was a little surprising really

Just be aware that most small engines will have a very limited lifespan running on LPG ,
They will almost certainly burn the valves out fairly quickly , fine if for very occasional use but you won’t see anyone running a generator long term on LPG unless it’s been seriously modified which would be financially unviable.
