My Yamaha 2400i is converted to propane, love it. No smell from the exhaust. Although propane has less power than gas, it does have an adjustable mixture that makes it more efficient at higher altitudes. Gas engines do not have adjustable jets - EPA rules.
Mine came converted from a dealer so no warranty issues, actually it cost less shipped from NC to Ca, converted than the local dealer sold just the generator. They also sell conversion kits for DIY.

Also, depending on how you lock it, this could be a deciding factor, I have one on the tongue for mine.

Do Google search for propane conversions, there are a couple of conversions that allow you to run both gas and propane and some that convert to propane only.... Costs seem to be anywhere between $100 to $250.... Was looking recently at conversions for my Generac 6500 to run my well and refrigerator and a couple of lights during power outages...
There also some large units that are "green" they come capable of both fuels but all I have seen are larger units up in the 7000 watt and larger...

And they are compact...
And they are damn cheap. I think I've got about $100 into this setup.
I just couldn't resist!
