At the track we use a Champion 3500w RV ready generator mounted on open racecar trailer. Depending on outside temps, it will run anywhere from 12 to 16 hours on 3.6 gallong of gas. When real hot or high demand, I run the internal Onan. I also fill RV tank on way in. In 2.5 years and 18,000 miles the Onan only has 341 hours. An educated guess would be Champion has upwards of 3000 hours. Best $300 investment I have ever made.

Same here...2 Honda 2000's parallel or Champion 3100 to supplement the QD6000 house unit. Run the house unit in middle of day when real hot and need both A/C's. We do AMS race weekend for 10 days, Southern Nationals for 5 days, drag boat races in two other places plus a lot of boondocking elsewhere. This system saves tons of fuel and works well.
