This is my view on Generators.

If I am correct- 89 replies about a generator. Wow! Can we call a cease-fire until perhaps after the Corona Virus, or perhaps a little longer?

If I can just sum up:-

a. If you have a generator, you see no problem using them and
b. If you don't have a generator, who needs them and why are you starting yours in the same state that I am in?

If not after the Corona Virus, at least a cease-fire until after ANZAC day.

 Generators ( Gennies) can be good for some people then there are people who detest Gennies 

Gennies has been our saving grace during our early caravan trips. Since we have installed solar panels and we carry a portable 60 watt Solar unit. However we still use the gennie only when bush camping.

If we have Neighbours I approach them and tell them that we will soon be starting the gennie to do the washing and other chores. 7 out of ten time these people say no worries  mate, we also have a gennie.

When we arrive at camp site we pick a spot well away from other campers. Of course this does not stop other campers from then camping close to us. our gennie is virtually brand new and would be lucky to have done 20 hours to date, so it makes very little noise.

Anyway Gennies are part of the lifestyle of many many Campers. I am of course referring to Bush Camping. NOT C.Parks.

 OK, Folks,

I originally started this post with my above comments.

Good to see many people contribute and I also to note the huge number of folks who read all the comments, but did not make an entry.

Generators will always generate comments  for and against.

I am happy if this thread was to now cease.

But I warn you.

Someone else will start another thread on GENERATORS.

Happy days are hopefully coming.

Jay&Dee
