electric kettle & toaster with <span class="highlight">generator</span>

Will not run a kettle but we use a Breville 1050 watt toaster and it worsk fine. Revs a bit.

We can run a upto 1400watt phillips iron no worries as well.

You need to turn of the caravan battery charger to do this.

Thanks carlsp & tenpounder
Great replys I think are prbly better off using gas or the old open fire ,thats whats it suppose to bee about
Thanks again Bilnetti

We tried it at home once. The 2kva gen almost stalled. We use stove top kettle or the Coleman for hot water. No fire no toast simple unless you have a caravan then you have a gas grill.

One of those gauze toasters over a gas burner and a kettle on gas burner works without needing to start up a genny, and they are lightweight and take up little room when camping.

I believe that alot of people believe that bigger is better. I have a 650watt generator that runs all my lights, Weaco fridge and television and I use a kettle and toaster (those mesh ones) either on a fire or the gas stove and sometimes an electric fan. I do have an air con but if I wanted to use it I would need a 2.5 to 3kva generator and under normal operating conditions, without an air con running, I would soon glaze up the engine and have no power at all and breakdowns usually occur when your miles from nowhere.
