When purchasing a generator make sure you understand that the "bargain" gensets usually do not have "clean" output to run computers, some tv's and other sensitive electronics. For toasters, fans, heaters, it will be just fine. Safe Travels. |

I have to disagree. Most gen sets now are quite clean and run electronics safely. That was not true a few years ago. Ask the seller about what is safe to run on the genset, and check the model's writeup on the web. Any more a generator would not be very useful if they were like Bob says.

thank you Camper Bob. I do not take a computer in this rig, did in our motorcoaches. The uses would be heater or fan. I plug my Kindle in the car when I am going someplace so that it is charged and lite is good. My needs are few when I boon doggle.

This is the type of thing he is talking about. This is the one I have. Any Local RV Shop will have them in stock. My Dealer gave me one when I purchased my Trailer.

Just ordered the one from Amazon, cheaper than Camping world (their shipping is out of this world) and I have Prime with Amazon..
Thank you so much, all of you. Now I am going to mull on a generator over the Winter
