Hi all,

Will be going to a few rallies this year, and seeing how we will be stuck out in the middle of the farmers fields with no facilities except those we take, thought it might be a nice to have a bit of   this year.

As its only for lighting it hasn't got to be too heavy duty, any info/recommendations would be great please.

I was in the local B&Q yesterday an they were selling a 900w petrol generator for £99. Havent a clue if its any good, anybody got one? Think it was powerline or something similar, their own brand.

Jon

Cheers Jon

will take a look

If you're on a busy campsite don't even think about using it or you'll have a lot of irate fellow campers.

Check out earlier threads on the subject of noise polution.  Obviously if you're on your own in the middle of a field then fine - generate away!!!

We have a powerline generator £99 from B&Q got it for £50 off ebay brand new

very good. Make a cover it keeps rain off and suppresses the noise ply would do four sides with holes for cables and exhaust emissions.Also mention it when you book as some sites do not allow them.

Personally we rallied for 14 years with like minded people all over the country every weekend inc winter most had generators no prob very useful tool and if they are not needed why do we always try for electric hook ups we would like to have a hook up everyweek but it is not always possible.

Thanks for your replies

and hear what your saying. Tis only for use in the fields at rallies, as we'd have hook up on site.

A Honda four stroke suitcase genny has been suggested to me, has anyone tried this one? Supposed to be quieter.

Where am I ,what am I doing here, generators, small one properly muffled with a cover switched off at 10pm should present no problem each to his own but they are a very usefull tool. We realise that tenters (lovley people been one myself) would probably not use one but brill for caravaners we always tell organisers that we are bringing ours so we can be sited accordingly.
