While some like to rough it for a few days, other camping aficionados prefer to have a generator around to power a few choice items for the camp. There are a wide variety of generators on the market, and each is designed with different purposes in mind.
A basic generator uses a motor to generate energy without a power source. Campers shopping for one should verse themselves in generator terminology and determine what they are going to use the generator for before they go shopping. The wrong choice can leave one with too little power and a ruined camping trip.
Uses
Generators for use with gear and a tent may differ from those for use with an RV. For one, the appliances inside an RV are likely to need much more power than typical camping equipment. Many RVs have house batteries that are charged before the trip and are used to provide power while on the road. A generator would be able to provide extra power when the house battery is off or dead. Some RV owners mistake a generator for a battery charger. Although a generator can send power to the house battery, they are almost never recommended for this purpose. There are specialized devices for that purpose. There are many accessories available that can help an RV owner mount the generator and connect it directly into the power system.
Using a portable generating for camping without a vehicle is somewhat different. The machine will probably need to provide less power and be easier to move. Tent campers often use these devices to power lights for camp protection, cook, or run small electronics. Those planning to run sensitive equipment like a laptop or printer should buy a generator that is rated for that purpose. Some generators may sputter or surge, and this can cause damage to more sensitive machines.
Power
Before purchasing a generator, make a list of all of the machines it will need to power at the same time. Now add up the running wattage of each of them. Certain devices have startup wattage in addition to a running wattage. This is the amount of power that it will use as it warms up and will need to be added too. The total is the minimum amount of power the generator should be rated for.
This aspect of shopping may be a little confusing. A hardware salesman can help decide which generator will meet the needs of the camping trip.
Starter
A portable can have an electric starter, a manual starter, or some combination of the two. The manual start will most likely be a pull-start like those found on gasoline lawnmowers. An electric starter allows the user to turn on the generator by simply pressing a button.
Fuel
Camping and RV generators can run on diesel, gasoline, or even propane. Gasoline is most common for smaller models. Since it runs on combustible fuel, the generator produces heat and exhaust. It can only be used outdoors. It is a good idea to learn about how much power a full fuel tank can provide. Extra fuel can be brought along on the trip, but always remember to store and transport it properly.
Using a Generator
After purchasing the generator, its time to setup camp. Make sure to read all of the documentation for the product and follow directions. There are a few things to consider about generators before starting one up near camp:
- They are loud. Some are louder than others depending on their fuel, design, and motor. Set the generator up far enough away so it does not make the campsite unpleasant.
- They have exhaust. Never cover a generator or use it indoors. They should be kept well ventilated at all times. The exhaust contains harmful carbon monoxide.
- They get hot. It is best not to lay anything on them or near them. Keep flammable substances, including the fuel, far away.
- They have a warm-up period. It is usually better to let a generator warm up before using it. This period can vary from models to model, but should be listed in the manual. It should not be turned off before it has warmed up.
- They can overload. Never overload the generator. This can damage the generator and all of the appliances connected to it. It is best to prioritize the power usage and wait.
A portable generator can be a useful tool for a camping trip, be aware of its safety rules. When used properly, it can make the whole experience more fun.

Time for you growers to move to another part of California and let
the Humboldt economy go to shit!
Another option is to unite and march on the government offices and demand your
human rights!
Another option is to rebel and start showing up at the drug law enforcers homes
and do what they do to you!
I suggest uniting with peaceful protest, bribes, and paid lobbyist in the government.
I bet the drug law enforcers go to church every Sunday, but miss the real
meaning of Christ and his life on earth. If they would read Matthew 5:44 and practice
what Jesus tells them to do then peace would reign in the county. BUT they have no idea
of Christ and are just full of fear. Oh well hell needs people too I suppose.
What is up with all the diesel generators? You guys do know propane generators are quiet
and produce very little pollution. When you change the oil do the right thing.
