Good morning fellow travellers, here we go again I know of a thousand threads on generators but I need your input into this quandary Of
mine . I need to buy a new generator as my old one is now to heavy for me to lift by myself and my wife does not have the strength to lift the other end to help me manouver it so we have to go lighter for me to handle it by myself, but I still need to have 3kva to run the vans electronics anyway to cut a long story a little shorter I have found a gentrax generator that should be able to do the job, but the only place that I seem to be able to get it from is OUTBAX camping and they are an online store. the question is how can I find out what OUTBAX camping is when they don't seem to want to answer their phone, and I can't seem to find out if they are in Australia or overseas. any help would be greatly appreciated. does any body know about this company. and does anyone have a gentrax generator that can shed some light on what they are like good bad or indifferent

Like all Chinese generators you need to establish who will service them if something goes wrong. Gentrax are sold on Ebay from a few different companies. Nowadays you need to understand that Chinese products are often sold online by trading companies, not service companies, there is a difference. By trying to contact them via phone you are going against their business model, they don't have showrooms, sales people and service personnel. I have seen Kipor generators in various showrooms, so that means service and sales people. If you understand that then I would recommend contacting the sellers of Gentrax via email and ask the necessary questions, if you don't want to do that buy another brand via a showroom, unfortunately you can't have the cheapest price and great service via online trading houses. Me personally I would buy a Kipor but only because I have had experience with them. Or take the punt buy a Gentrax via Ebay or other online trading entity if they answer your questions and concerns appropriately. The biggest one is how is the warranty undertaken if you are in another state, who pays the freight there and back? Hope that makes sense.

Hi Boxhd, just a quick question for you did you buy it on line or did you buy it through a retail outlet. and what size have you got I need a 2.7 as minimum, the van is rather old with an old heavy aircon in it and she is power hungry, another year and she will be retiring for a more sedate life I hope
