Portable or Installed RV Generators

Buying a generator for an RV is the most important step in planning your camping trip. To keep from plugging into specific campsite electrical outlet during an outing, a gas-powered generator helps you to keep your RV on the road and powered all the time without having to stop and attach an electrical cord.

The need for a generator for RV is important when you are using an air conditioner and other appliances to draw power like tv, lights, heaters, microwaves, and appliances that will run all the time on your trip. While some campers might choose to boondock their trailer and use an external outlet, but it is not always possible to plug into a source of power and that is when travelers can count on generators to get the electricity they need to keep the accessories of their vehicle run smoothly. A plugin may not be accessible, which depends on the remoteness and region of the campsite.

Having an RV generator can make a great difference in your vacation experience. There are some pros and cons to owning an installed generator for RV or owning a compact generator for your travels.

Portable or compact RV generators are good if you have other requirements apart from camping. For example, if there are times when you may require a generator for work and want to haul it to somewhere else then a compact generator would be helpful. When it comes to home use situation, if there is a major storm and you are experiencing power outage then this type of generator can be beneficial.

Installed RV generators are helpful because they are always in the RV. They don’t have to be loaded into a truck during the travel. They can use the same fuel that is used by your RV and will draw from the large reservoir tank that RV draws from. There is no need to refuel the generator. So, both have their own unique advantages. You must choose the one which suits your needs.
