Finding a good key generator?

I need help finding a small standby (back up) natural gas generator?

• Hi and thanks for reading. I have a small trailer I am looking for a back up propane generator for. We have wind storms here that knock out power for days on end, about a half dozen times per year, so I'm looking to get some back up electricity, however... My lot size is SMALL, so is my trailer. I have a natural gas line, and gas furnace, so I only use about 1500 watts at peak times, so I figure a 3k watt generator will more than cover my needs. SOUND is a huge factor. I have the worst neighbors in the world and I really need something quiet. I'm looking for something with less than 60 ddb. I have seen a lot of propane generators that look good, but I dont know if they can be used with natural gas easily. I think so, but would love to hear if thats true, and they dont have the "standby plug" feature, which I need to save my fish tank, any know if this can be easily changed by a skilled electrician? Thank you. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

• Answer:

  I've seen ones running propane, gas and diesel. The larger units for the power you want normally come in their own enclosure helping to keep noise under control. I've not see one designed for natural gas. No propane ones are not designed for natural gas. The engines have to be designed to handle it so you would need to converse with a place selling these to find out if such are available. If not contact the mfrs for information as to this conversion idea. The enhance quiet you can also build an enclosure around the generator which would limit sound travel from the unit.
