generator

[77racing]

I have been using a fairly large framed Honda generator in the paddock for three years now. whilst not exactly quite it is not that loud either. ( not been told it to loud ) I have upgraded to a Motor Home for 2017 from a blow up bed in the back of a transit.

My girlfriend needs to use a hair drier/ hair straighteners as they do. I can't get my genny through the MH door so now need to get a new one. I have seen a few in the paddock that are really quite and can be lifted quite easily as they are slim and some have a handle on top to aid lifting. Having a quite one is a must really, as the loud genny's in the paddock are a no no for me

can I have your thoughts and recommendations please

Ok so I have a bit more of an idea now. Her hair straighteners are 1200w her hair drier is 1800w so I hope that a 2.2kw as first suggested will do the job so as not to run it flat out. both of you say the inverter generator is the way to go. I have a Honda GX240 8.0 frame genny unfortunately it does not have a label on the genny part to tell me the wattage. I have read that 2hp = 1kw as a general rule so at the moment I might have a 3.3kw unit. I can boil a kettle at 2,250w with it but to be honest I don't need to do that as I do have gas cooker to boil kettle so looks like the most I need is a bit over 1800w

ummmmmmmm upgrade not a bad idea. I can just think of Brands, Spa with hook ups. None at Silverstone , Donny , combe, Cadwell , Thruxton , Snetterton , anglsey , oulton get my drift. I will be using the van for wild camping as well, so the genny for me is quite important.
