Portable Generator Buyers Guide & Tips

Camping Generator

Convenience.  Lights.  Radio.  TV.  Xbox360?

 

"We camp in style now.  We don't have the $45,000 RV, but we do have lights and TV.  The kids even brought along their Xbox on our 5-day trip." said Wayne Becker, an avid camper and editor at RV Generator Shop.

Camping and Recreations generators are the smaller and most portable types of electric generators on the market.  Some offer push button starts, others use the more traditional pull chord (just like your lawn mower) and run on gas or diesel.

For most campers, the list of items you will plan on needing electrical power for includes items like lights, TVs, stereo's, and small tent or camper heaters.  You might also run satellite boxes and dish receivers, curling irons, or even small microwaves or fans.  A mid-range camping generator portable generator is ideal.  Prices run $400 - $900.

Tip: You'll never go back to camping without one.  Trust us.  Spend a little extra for a generator with noise dampening.  If you're not sure how much power you need, read our special portable generator power guide.
