What is the best generator for RV living or Camping?

Before we talk about what is the best generator for RV living or Camping, we need to talk the needs you will have while camping or out RVing.

If you just want a generator for camping, then you might be able to get away with something smaller that provide in the range of 1000 watts.

If you want to power the fridge, TV and small appliances in your RV then you might need a generator in the 2000 watts of power.

The kicker comes in when you want to run the AC system in your RV. Depending on the size of your Air Conditioning unit, you would need a generator with 3000 plus watts. A generator which provides about 3000 watt output would normally be able to power about a 1200 btu AC system.

Running Generator Parallel

You can also get two smaller generator and run them together with a parallel adapter. This mean both generators are combing their output into one source. Here is a link to several Parallel connectors

Even though you are spending twice the money buying two generators, with twice the oil changes, and other maintenance costs, you do get about twice the power and can run only one generator is you need less power. For example, let’s say you don’t need to run the AC unit and just want to watch some TV and maybe charge you laptop and phones; then you only need to run one generator which would be quieter and consume less fuel than running one 3000 watt generator.

What type of Generator

Most people who use a generator for camping or RVing will use the quieter inverter generators versus a construction grade generator. The inverter generators are not just quieter, more portable but also provide cleaner power to provide some addition security of a surge.

Yes, I would always recommend a surge protector for additional security and safety of your equipment.

I would also recommend a magnetic oil dipstick. A magnetic oil dipstick can help grab any small metal fragments that might get into your oil or shave off from your engine. This will help prevent any issues down the line, and they are relatively inexpensive.

So what is the best generator for RV living or Camping?

Well most people seem to say that the Honda Generator and the Yamaha generator brands are the best and most reliable.

Then many say they would rather go with the Champion or Generac due to their price, value, design and overall features provide.

I think the best way to cover this topic of the best RVing or Camping Generators is to view a few of these YouTube videos we found which provide plenty of information to make a sounds decision.
