My caravan is 27 years old and it has everything and does everything that a modern van does.
However, if an oil filled radiator is needed EHU is essential. A generator capable of running such an appliance would need to be industrial, especially if it was being use to run a mobility scooter battery charger at the same time, and other appliances. I have a 2kw generator which would struggle to cope, but I never use it for caravanning as it takes two of us to carry it and it certainly isn't quiet by any stretch of the imagination. I used to use it to run power tools on my boat moorings where there was no electricity supply. I definitely wouldn't want it running next to my caravan for any length of time.
Even the "quiet" generators make some noise. These are fine for running things like TVs, phone chargers, and other low consumption items, but definitely not for anything that contains a heating element of any kind, and that includes kettles, toasters, hair dryers, or hair straighteners.
------------- Best Regards,
Colin
