I’d like to see pics of the propane hose connected to the generator.

Had to clear the cobwebs off of this thread.
I was lucky enough to be given the "Cheap Heat" by some very generous people. Ken and Dedra B. Thank you guys so much.
Well with all of this spare time I decided to tackle the project. Spent half a day yesterday and half today to do the install. A few call to Larry to make sure I was on the right track and all was a success. Just in time for summer
Here's a few pics

Dan I'm a bit rusty, forgot I had them.
Looking good Jerrod. Nice chatting with you tonight.
getting down to 44 tomorrow (Friday) overnight here in the DFW area. My CheapHeat will keep the tiny-trailer toasty
Jim wish we could be there right now. Hope to see you somewhere soon. Have Nelly send me some of her Nelly muffins mix

Jerrod - we'll be thinking about how to plan a virtual cocktail party with you and Rhonda, Kevin and Nelly.

Let's do it Jim
A lot of our Wineries out here are having Virtual Wine Tasting to keep things rolling. We haven't tried it yet.

I had 3 extra spots in my original breaker panel. This mad it very easy to slap in a double 30amp breaker.

I think Larry mentions the shore power side of the transfer switch (if you have one) as a choice. I didn't have space in the breaker box, so I went with the transfer switch.
And there's another thread that's active now where it was tied into the main 50 amp breakers - but if you choose that, you might give Larry a call first to get his opinion.

Dan,
My installer called Larry and he walked him through installing mine into my main breaker box. I have been using mine now for quite a while without any issues.

Rod, in the thread I mentioned, the tie in was directly into the 50 amp breakers along with the main power wires, rather than by adding additional branch breakers. Is that how yours is?
I'm not sure, but electrical code for putting 2 wires under the screw of a breaker may require a breaker that's rated that way. I'm not sure how that differs electrically from 2 wires under the screw in the transfer switch, but there could be some difference.

Usually, shore power goes into the transfer switch, as does generator power (or just the wires), and comes out of the transfer switch, then on to the circuit breaker panel where it goes into the two 50 amp breakers. That being the case, I don't understand your comment about the 3rd AC.
Here's the page from the CheapHeat install guide showing the power connection coming off the shore power side of the transfer switch.

Best I recall, toy haulers with 3 A/C units, early on used a manual switch to control which 2 A/C units could be used at the same time. I don't think that approach was ever used on Landmark.
Later, when 3 A/C units were offered on Landmark 365, they came with Precision Circuits Systems (PCS) load management that automatically managed power consumption, shedding loads when necessary. That system has a display panel, along with several components within the main circuit breaker panel.
Best I recall, Landmark 365 units all also came with generator prep and should have a transfer switch behind the rear wall of the pass through basement storage. That transfer switch may also have some EMS protections built in. That transfer switch is intended to switch power between generator and shore power, automatically.
Btw, your profile still shows a 2011 Landmark, but perhaps you upgraded to a Landmark 365. If not, and if you added a 3rd A/C unit after purchase, it may be wired completely differently.

PCS is not built into the transfer switch. There are diagrams and pictures in the Electrical User Guide (pp 14-16) and in the Landmark 365 2017 user guide (p 44-45) that lay this all out.
I don't know when, where or what it will look like - but we will "ride again". Might have to fly to Cali or meet you in Vegas. We'll see!
