Rv Generator No
What type of generator should I buy for an RV?
I will be needing a generator to run the electrical power/AC for a small RV. What are some brands and models to look for that are reliable and affordable, what to stay away from?
A generator is great to have. Without it, you are going to be pretty limited on what you can use in your RV... like a fridge, TV, A/C, etc.
The most important things that I think of in buying a generator for an RV is:
How quiet is the generator?
Does it start easily?
How much current does it put out?
How large is the fulltank / how often are you goint to need to refuel it?
I'd suggest you head out to a RV and/or lawnmower type store and talk to a salesperson about what you need. Bring the RV if possible, and you can see about getting the fit right and connectors you might need.
Safety first! Always keep in mind when you use a generator there is carbon monoxide. You should always inspect the exhaust system on the generator set before using it. Do not operate a generator with a damaged exhaust system. If you're using a portable generator set make sure the exhaust is directed away from the camping area. Test your carbon monoxide detector for proper operation prior to using the generator. Never run a generator when you or anyone else is sleeping. Observe campground etiquette. Do not run your generator after quiet hours.
Thanks, Brad

is running the generator while driving my rv safe?
please help
I quote from RV Doctor: "Is it plausible to run the generator while driving down the road? In most instances, yes, but remember, they will more than likely be competing for the same fuel from the same tank. Don't get caught short just because it's hot inside the RV and you want that extra cooling from the roof air conditioner. If it's not to run the roof air conditioners, I see no need to run the generator at all while driving. Some experts may disagree with this view, but as long as the fuel take-off tube for the generator is plumbed correctly, there should really be no problem. If, however, the generator fuel line was simply tee'd into the existing fuel line to the chassis engine there could be a fuel starvation problem caused by the two fuel pumps competing for the same fuel. Depending on the dynamics of that installation, either the generator or the motorhome engine is going to lose that battle."
