Yo All
Having lost a lot of dosh on a powerful solar system fitted to previous van when we traded it in I'm leaning toward a small generator for winter touring battery top ups. New van has a 100w solar panel fitted as standard which performs admirably but we do a lot of rallying off ehu and some wilding. At least with a genny I stand to recoup a bigger percentage of outlay should we sell it.
Obviously Honda are the tops or so they'd have you believe but prices are buttock clenching to say the least and I wonder if its the name that you pay the extra for. Enough of my ramblings, has anyone any experience or advice of the newish range of Hyundai generators in particular the HY1000si.
On a recent rally a friend had a Kipor and another had a Honda, both the same size ie 1000w but thats where the similarities ended the Kipor was a lot noisier.
