For the past couple yrs. I've managed the facilities at a campground. We have two deep water wells and use a Wen brand genset for power backup. I was pleasantly surprised how nice these are and the price is no joke. Also, for the $$ you get dual fuel if that is something you are interested in: https://wenproducts.com/collections/generators Mind the performance numbers when assessing a genset using propane. The rating will drop some.

FWIIW I *think this is the Wen genset we use. Smokin' deal if I say so myself: https://wenproducts.com/collections/...hutdown-sensor
I have a 4000 watt Wen we take on RV trips. It has a 30A outlet and I can run everything in the trailer on the generator. It is also dual fuel and really quiet. When we head to our pinion pines property, we run on the battery during the day and only run the generator for 30 minutes in the morning and again around dinner time. The evening generator run fully charges the house battery. I have a male-male extension cord so I can load strip the house and just run certain loads (not AC) on the generator if we have a long term loss. We aren't here in the hot months but last summer, the neighborhood lost power for two days after a monsoon took out power lines. I read about it from Wyoming while considering whether I needed to turn on the heat or not.
