Camping, RV & Caravan Generators

A good camping generator is quiet, light enough to lift and powerful enough for what you actually run: the fridge, the lights, a kettle or the caravan air conditioner. Our camping and caravan generators include portable inverters from Maxwatt and Pramac and built-in RV generators from MacGen USR. Find your size with the Power Calculator or call 1300 622 436.

Camping generators

For tents, camper trailers and weekends away, a small portable inverter generator keeps phones, lights and a camping fridge running with clean power that's safe for electronics. Check the weight, because you'll be lifting it in and out of the car, and the noise rating in dB(A) at 7 metres.

Caravan generators

Caravans usually need more power, mostly for the air conditioner. Its start-up draw decides the size you need, so compare it with the generator's maximum output rather than its running load. Two smaller parallel-capable inverters joined with a parallel kit can share the load and are easier to carry than one large unit.

RV, motorhome and coach generators

For motorhomes, coaches and vehicles that need built-in power, MacGen USR generators are designed for vehicle and marine installations, with petrol inverter and Kubota diesel models, remote start and a compact footprint. See the MacGen USR range. Cummins Onan RV generators are available on enquiry.

Generators at campsites

Some campgrounds and national parks set quiet hours, restrict generator use or ask for low-noise models. Check the rules where you're staying, and see our quiet and silent generators for the lowest-noise models.
