So I also have a 75kw whole-house generator that runs on propane, installed by the original owners.
If you think don't think a portable deal is a PITA, try something 10x the size.
My last encounter with it was discovering it was sucking down 1kw of power continuously (for at least 3 months, costing $200+) while trying to keep the coolant heated ... in the middle of the summer ... only to discover it had little-to-no coolant.
I found a family of snakes living in it.
I have no idea on the state of the battery, except for that it has one, so I suspect I'll be replacing that if I ever want to use it.
This is all stuff I don't mind doing, but that cuts into my free time that I'd rather be spending with my family.
