Some use a ball type Govenor. Some use Electronic. Depends on what you have.

Onan diesel generator sets are available in sizes ranging from 10kW to 2.5 MW. Spark-ignited gas generators range from 5 to 150 kW in size. Lean-burn gas generators are available in 315 kW to 2 MW sizes.
Depends on the model of Onan. Some have an adjustment screw you turn in. Some adjust with a nut on a threaded shaft that pulls on a spring. Some have an electronic governor control. That you adjust with a small screw driver
One can purchase an Onan Generator online from 'Electric Generators Direct'. Some models can also be purchased on Amazon and there are many listed on eBay both used and new.
I don't know absolutely which one is quietest, but I have found Onan RV generators to be outstandingly quiet.
Some of the most popular brands of propane generators include: America, Sportsman, Powerland, Buffalo Tool, Onan Marquis, Gentron and Champion Global.
Hyundai,Infiniti, Kia, Mitsubishi, Scion, Subaru, Onan Generators,
Normal shaft generators do not have droop-control for frequency and voltage. Semiconductor (drive) based variable speed shaft generators may have those today.
Not any that I am aware of on the small units. Some do have solenoids that shut off the fuel when you shut down the engine. The larger ones have a emergency shut down button. This shuts off anything hooked to the control system.
Depends on what Onan you have. Most RV units don't have alternators like a car. They charge through the control system. Off of the main AC generator section.
Yes there is a manufacturer than sells propane fueled generators. Go on the Internet and look up the Onan brand generators. These generators also have residential enclosures to muffle the noise level that is produced buy the generator.
Onan generators, created by Cummins Onan, are available for a wide range of uses. A few of the most comprehensive lines they supply, however, are generators for recreational vehicles (RVs), trucks, or campers. The selection goes from small units that can power a few lights, to large computer controlled generators that are capable of powering an entire RV with multiple appliances. Additionally, Onan generators are produced with a variety of fuel options from gasoline and diesel to liquid propane so that they can work well within any setting. The small workhorse of all the Onan generators for RVs are the gasoline powered models that are available. With generally small dimensions, these units are able to generate a good amount of power for their size while also running quietly. Many come with electronic systems for ignition, making them very convenient for use anytime. The compact footprint of the gasoline generators also mean they can be easily carried in a truck, small camper, or other recreational vehicle that might not have a great amount of space. Similar to the gasoline units, propane powered Onan generators can be used for trucks and small campers. They are different from gasoline generators because they are remarkably quiet. The liquid propane that is used as a fuel source gives off few harmful emissions and can be stored in secure canisters for extended use. The design of the propane generator explicitly reduces the amount of vibration that the unit produces as well. The heaviest and most powerful Onan generators use diesel fuel to produce electricity. These models can be very large, but at the same time can stably power an entire RV with air conditioners and other appliances for a very long time. The internal diesel generator is a complex machine that is controlled by a computer for maximum efficiency. A computer interface allows the owner to adjust the settings for the generator, as well as monitor its performance and run diagnostics if something seems wrong. Many are designed for use while on vacation and are so well insulated that they have sound ratings that are below those required for use by the National Park Service.
