Recommend a generator

Sits back & waits for Derek to be flamed for even thinking of a genny ,,,,, 🤣🤣🤣

I’d get a decent sized solar panel and, maybe, an inverter and forget the m/wave if I was off grid.

Tbh, I doubt many people here have used gennies as they add a considerable weight to your payload and cause noise disturbance. 

Have you worked out how it can be carried?

Good luck in your quest which, as has been implied, won’t be a popular move.

We have a Honda i20 that we used for many years wild camping with the MH. Not used with the caravan as we always find a site / CL with EHU.

A particularly memorable wild camp was at Buttertubs on the 1st leg of the Tour De France where we wild camped for 3 days with no one else there on the first 2 days. When we awoke to run the jenny on the saturday morning the hillside was alive with people. Most asked question of us 'when did you get here?' Reply 'early enough to get the top spot'. 

Should we need to use it, we would. But that hasn't happened so far with the caravan. Too good a bit of kit to be without come climate  change and power cuts due to come to us all soon 

 

One  of  the  problems  with  generators  is  they  use  liquid  fuel,  unless you  can get  one that  can be, or has been, converted to run off gas.. The conversion can be costly tho'.

I hope you run it till fuel was empty and cut out as not doing so you will cause the fuel to crystalize in the carb and then have starting/running problems. with no lead in petrol now it can/does go off and smells like turps. Worked in hire industry and the number of machines brought in for repair after winter was massive and all because they left the fuel in.

They are a pain in the derriere, for your neighbours that is. The top of a mountain would be ok as it wouldn't be near me. If you need the microwave, go to sites with an EHU. For quiet camping use your propane and a solar panel, please.

If you are off to Alaska ok otherwise get ready for some angry neighbours, Noise, smell, fire risk etc.

I camped near a family with a Honda i10(I think it was), whilst talking to them I could hear a low humming sound, I initially thought it was a nearby pylon, it was the Honda generator. Things have advanced a lot over the years👍🏻

These new 4 stroke are quite compared to old 2 strokes  ,years ago up the Dales on a lovely non ehu site ,somebody started one up non stop , after being asked repeatedly to turn it of by several vanners , he ignored us , All of a sudden it kept stopping ,in the end he left it on site when he left , Dont know how it kept stopping ??
