That model generator is a "construction/open frame" style. It is loud, vibrates and doesn't produce "clean power". While it's OK for running your RV systems, you won't be able to stay inside the trailer with the generator running and you certainly won't be a "good neighbor" in any campground. Specs for that model indicate it must run at 3600 RPM (to produce 60Hz power) and is rated "<80dB" which is extremely loud.

While it might "fit the space and connect to the existing propane system" it's really not a suitable "permanent mounted RV generator".... I'd be very reluctant to install that type generator inside any RV.
