2.4 yamaha.

[Mobi]

Yamaha 2.0

[muzza01]

Yamaha 2.0 kva inverter.
I don't use the genie for a camping aircon but as a backup for charging and to run the fridges, ceiling fans and lights if we loose power.

I always wanted a Honda but reviews swayed me a little to the Yamaha and my BIL looked after me on price at $1570 which was a little cheaper than the Homda.

Can't honestly give a review just yet but will when it earns its keep.

Yep I ve got an old 1.5 kva Honda done 1500 hours just camping, Craig

[Jeepers Creepers]

Honda EU20 for camping.
Honda EU10 for boating.

[Bill]

I have a 4kva BBT (Big Boys Toys) cheapie ebay inverter generator that I use.
A bit big for camping but I purchased it to run the house after cyclones and can not justify purchasing a smaller one for camping when this one does the job.
About 6 years old and still starts and runs perfect.

You can easily fix that. Have a noisy  airconditioner which drowns out the "brrrrrrrrrrrrrr" sound.

Don't forget to pack the home theater too

A 25 metre power lead soon gets rid of any noise.

[Bird]

Can you add the sun to the poll too?

Do you put the genie in the dingy out the back of the boat?

You idiot...... 

Mind you, if it fell overboard, the electric eels would get a real buzz.

Solar to charge batteries, One 12v fridge to make ice and one of these what more do you need .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxSLbpAwibg&app=desktop   ..

[Troopy_03]

280W of solar panels and 2 X 105AH AGMs for camping in the pop top. We do have a Honda EU20i, but haven't bothered taking it travelling, and haven't really found the need for a genny so far. Then again, we haven't been in a situation where we've been camping and had more than 2 consecutive days of bad weather yet  . All that runs off 12V is LED lighting, and a small LCD TV or Kenwood car stereo, for a couple of hours sometimes. Fridge on gas, (plus an Engel 35L in the Troopy) and portable (lunchbox  ) cooker for cooking, if we don't build a fire in a cut down 9Kg gas bottle. Oh yeah, and 12V and gas for a Coleman shower.
