RV Generators

When the campground has no power pedestal, a portable generator keeps the essentials running. These gas-powered units put out enough to charge your batteries, run small appliances, and take the edge off a long boondocking stretch.

Sizing a portable generator

Match the output to what you actually run:

  • Watts — add up the running watts of what you'll power at once, and leave headroom for starting surges from anything with a motor.
  • Fuel & starting — gas units are simple and widely available; recoil-start keeps things basic while electric-start adds convenience.

A generator pairs naturally with your converter and inverter setup and helps keep the house batteries charged off-grid. For quiet, fuel-free power, compare against solar kits.
