19721973 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 We have a Honda 10 jenny and it is the best thing we ever bought, We only wild camp because we like the solitude as opposed to the crowds on sites, I must add if on rare occasions we are near other people lorries ect we don’t start it up. The main reasons we use it are for keeping the batteries charged other small tasks and watching films and other programs as we have a storage unit (that we use with a laptop) which we keep all our programs on and regularly down load them for free with a certain program that you all probably know about. Last night I downloaded every series 1 to 7 of made in Chelsea for my wife, should last her a summer. Hope this helps anyone thinking about electrics which way to go.

You've obviously not heard of inverters either then, as for lightening up, how about doing what the rest of us folk do and PAY for your entertainment, instead of coming on here bragging about using illegally downloaded copyrighted material, let's hope they've noted your IP address.

StuartO Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 OK, you'vr made your point about piracy, there's no need to flog it to death. I have a Honda Eu2.0 converted to run on LPG and it has always been extremely reliable. That seems to be what you get for the extra money by buying from Honda. However since we got solar panels, out genny stays at home. They are heavy and only useful to us now as a contingency, so I would certainly not encourage anyone to buy a generator unless they have a sepecial requirement for 240 volts. Our microwave/combination cooker might have justified having a 240v supply with us but we took that out as more trouble than worth too. A Remoska works well as an oven-substitute for things ike baked potatoes and our Weber Q200 BBQ has managed to roast a whole chicken now that I updated it with a temperature gauge, like the current ones have. I just boust a temperature guage off EBay and drilled a hole for it. The Q200 is larger than we need so I wish I had bought a Q100 but at least it's not too heavy.
