I have been keeping an eye open for something like this. A very small portable inverter generator running from a 1 lb propane bottle or a BBQ tank with an adapter hose.
25 lbs weight, 700 watts run, 900 watts start, 3 hr runtime on 1 lb at 175 watts.
It's not going to run an AC. It will run a coffee maker, small microwave, induction cooktop, charge house batteries (through converter), CPAP, box fan, small power tools etc.
Using as a booster to an existing solar&battery setup could run some pretty large loads for short periods of time.
Could be a good backup power source (to solar) for those in the rainy northwest or snowy winter camping.
Propane means no fuel gumming or special storage/exercise protocols for generator. Disconnect and put it away with no "stink" , leak, or spill issues.
Could easily replace all those noisy smelly 800w cheap 2 stroke units out there.
