hi there,

I am staying in my 2-berth caravan a lot all year round and am thinking of getting a generator to be independent off mains.

I have been known to run my little fan heater with 2000 Watts at times during the winter as a booster for gas heating. so I guess it would have to be a 2000Watts generator?

What else do I need to consider?

2-stroke/4-stroke? (sorry I am not into engines but I think these are 2 types available?)

Would it be advisable to run the fridge off gas during the winter?

What brands are low-noise so I don'tget  the neighbours annoyed?

What price?

Many thanks!

4 stroke are quieter than 2, honda is the best but costing over a grand for a 2kw one, as for the heater i wouldnt expect any site would let you run a genny through the night to power the elec side.
