    Portable Generator

    My wife and I are buying a new travel trailer after the start of the new year. I also want to purchase a portable generator to carry with us. Any suggestions as which make/model works best for camping would be greatly appreciated.

    Morning TOM, I suggest you call Ken at Grand view trailers sales. I know he has some great trailers for sell and also has generators also. I bought a generator from him back in Sept. It has a key start, a remote and pull start features. I also have a generator on my MH. but got this one as a back up to the house. You can find him here on the forum, just look for GTS. Good luck, and happy camping next year.

    Welcome Tom! Hollis is right, if you want an honest person to buy from, if it is RV related, Ken is your guy. We have bought several things from Grandview Trailer Sales and have been happy with every purchase!

    Well, Honda is always a good choice, but you can save money with the Kipor or Powerhouse generators. A 3,000 will power your camper and all three makers have quiet models.

    I am glad that I have found this thread because I am also looking for a portable generator. I do not own a generator and due to this I am thinking about buying one. Until now I always preferred a generator rental but if I want to take it with me when I am traveling it would be better to have my own portable generator. I will also check your suggestions and I am pretty sure that I will also find the right generator for me.

    Tom if you really wanting a generator then as Ken said, Honda make a good one but it will take alot of your money. I bought a powerhouse 3000 from Ken and I love it. I also have a genset on my motor home also, but the powerhouse is so much quieter. I also like the starting features, remote, key or pull. I suggest you contact Ken and see what kind of a deal you can get.
