Hi everyone
As a complete newbie to the world of caravanning, I've been thinking that investing in a generator would be a good idea for powering our van (incl air cond, m/wave etc) when setup in the bush.
Having absolutely no knowledge of generators I would really appreciate any recommendations on good models, makes etc etc.
Cheers and thanks in advance for your advice!

Stevo, scroll through the recent threads on this subject; there have been a number over the past few weeks.
Check out that the Honda 2i will start your air con - it is suitable for most caravan air conditioners but some people have needed something bigger. It is also an inverter type, and will not harm modern appliances that the non inverter types can do.
We chose the Honda and are
well pleased with the reliability, quietness, easy start and light weight to carry. We use it only occasionally for the air con, or for power
tools if something goes wrong (more often to help someone else). For day to day use, we have a good
solar power set up.

Remember also that they are banned in National Parks
Honda is the go.
Mine will start my aircon if it set to LOW and once it gets going can turn it up to high and gennie keeps it going
