You've got to be really careful with small generators, for a bunch of
reasons..

1) Most small generators (by small I mean 1000 Watts or so) don't like
to be constantly on the move while running. The bearings aren't really
designed to handle the gyroscopic loads that come from spinning real
fast while abruptly changing direction (i.e. hitting bumps in the
road, potholes, etc). You can really take a few years off of a small
generator by doing this. Ask me how I know

b) Very hard to mount so that you aren't going to set something on
fire!

III) You've got to worry about keeping it fueled on the road - the
small ones only have fuel capacity for around 3 hours or so.

Four) Exhaust venting! They pump out CO and other nasties like crazy
- even a small leak in your trailer will kill everything in your tank
in an hour or two.


The only way I would do this is if I had a pickup. Put the generator
in the pickup bed, and run an extension cord to the trailer somehow.

Is there any way you can get a small portable generator for the trailer.
Might just be handy for the time in the wilderness too.
