In the RV world generators that run on the same fuel as the vehicle are
plumbed to the tank in such fashion that ~1/4 tank will remain and the
generator will run out of fuel. An auxiliary heater should be plumbed the
same way.

Gasoline powered would mean you could run your gas tank empty and be
unable to travel.  Then you'd have to carry spare gasoline in the rig
somewhere.  I think I prefer propane for this application but I'll give
it more thought.
