Forget the generator & go solar.
There is no comparison. Solar wins hands down.
Solars advantages are
: Less weight.
: Stored away ALL the time.
: Automatic operation
: No fuel required
: No setting up every day
: No extension leads
: No worrying that someone will pinch it when you go for a walk
: NO F----NG NOISE
: No mechanical wearing parts. That means no rings, valves or spark plugs to stuff up.
: No oil changes
: No need to even
check the oil
: Cheaper by
miles in the long run
Plus why do people that carry a portable generator have the need to carry 2.
Every car comes with a perfectly good alternator that can be modified or changed to provide more power the any caravanner could dream of using.
They even have a 100 kw plus engine sitting stationary while a pi--y little high wearing motor flogs its guts out producing 2000 watts of the most expensive electricity you can find.
Anyway that's my 2 bobs worth on generators.
As you can see I don't like the noisy bl--dy things destroying the ambience of camping.
Of course all the generator users are going to say how theirs is quiet & you can hardly hear it.
That's Bulls--t. Just like your farts don't stink & your
home-brew tastes better than the bought stuff.
