Honda Generator in camper - trouble ?????

Lotsa people cart motorbikes in trailers..........

I think if a fridge can survive, then the jenny should as well, but I don't know for sure...LOL!

If you are in doubt, sell it to me at a reduced rate!!!

Willie,
Provided you secure the genny inside the camper you should not have any problems.
They were not designed to be carried around the place in cottonwool but on the same hand they weren't designed to be allowed to bounce around in the back of the truck (but I have seen some treated like that and they still worked OK).

They may be able to give you the right info.. I bought my last 2 from there and their customer service and general support is great. (No, I don't have an financial interest in them).

I cart mine around in the back of my Kanga camper all the time and never thought about it. It just sits on a piece of rubber that goes around it as well. Just make sure you turn the petrol off and it should be OK. It's done a few k's in there but i've never used it for camping, only down the paddock or around the house:-(

We just came back from a 8,500 klm trip to Cape York. Friends of ours from Yass (near Canberra) drove even further......from Yass to Innaminka to meet up with us, then on to Longreach, Cairns, Lakefield NP, Weipa, Cape York, back via Pormporaaw (spelling????), Kowanyama, Karumba, Lawn Hill, Birdsville, Maree, then they turned off at Parachilna and went back via Broken Hill etc.

We estimate 80% of our trip was on gravel, mostly pretty ordinary; 3000klm of it VERY bad. Mate had a Trak Shak and a Honda Gennie. He made up an aluminum door for the front, passenger's side gerry can compartment where he stored the gennie and various oils etc. Never had a problem. I think he was putting an old towel or similar in the compartment too, to stop the gennie rubbing/rattling, but other than that he did nothing "special".

Those roads were arguably some of this country's roughest and he never had a problem.

OK ,
Thanks everyone for your help . I feel confident about putting it in the camper now .
I think I might weld up an alloy box for it and line that with rubber just to be on the safe side . My wife says im obsessive compulsive , but I'm not am I ?
Thanks again ,
Willie .

just dont let it be bounced around as they say above
