"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.
