gennie or not

[beltsandbraces]

we are collecting our new motorhome next week and I like to keep all bases covered. I have been looking at buying a suitcase generator and I know that using it while around others is not going to be acceptable. But if we were to go (freeloading) lol wild camping I feel it would be a worthwhile bit of kit to have (although expensive) just in case of running batteries flat etc. anyone bought one and felt it an unnecessary expense or has it proved being worth every penny.

Having 240v in the van for me is essential. I have an inverter 2000w pure sine wave with remote control and 3 Hab batteries.

If I was wilding a lot in winter, I would get a genny to run my heating and electric ring on the cooker that way I would never worry about a cup of tea, cooking or staying warm if my gas ran out.

If I was an average camper, summer, on sites I would never have one.

We now have 4 12v sockets and 4 USB sockets, most of which come off the hab battery, you also get a really fast charge this way. Use one of the USB's to power the PC speakers for the TV and radio.
