why do you need a 20kw generator ? and 40 gallons of hot water ?

Our 42 ft coach has an Onan 10kw QD and doesn't need that much (even when running 2 15kw ac units and all the other stuff inside).

Given that you're building a 20ft, I'm not sure you need 2 a/c units.

an Onan 18kw QD generator will consume close to 1.5 gallons per hour & even at no load it'll suck down 1/2 a gallon of diesel per hour.

Again Im not sure what you're use case is but a 40 gallon hot water heater seems excessive - especially considering space will be a premium in 240"

Our 10gal electric/propane water heater provides plenty of hot water for a family of 4 (we don't run out taking showers).
