Cheap generators of the Clark , B&Q 850W sort can and do cause massive problems to modern motorhomes. They can still be used if some precautions are followed.
1) do not connect to EHU on the van.
2) do not use the built in charger that came with the van use a stand alone 12v charger (not the low current 12v output on the genny.
3) run any appliances off of an extension lead.
These generators and their ilk have serious voltage spikes that can take out your on-board electronics, Electrabloc etc.
