Okay, so here at 4WD Supacentre, we know that 4WDing and camping<\/strong><\/a> is all about getting away from it all and finding those beautiful picture-perfect campsites where you can relax and forget about the real world. But here\u2019s the thing \u2013 long-gone are the days of camping<\/strong><\/a> rough, on thin ground sheets and away from the mod-cons of life. Our mission here at 4WD Supacentre is to make camping<\/strong> <\/a>more accessible to every single Aussie! We do this by offering the best value gear available \u2013 a combination of incredible price and excellent quality \u2013 but we also do it by making camping<\/strong> <\/a>more comfortable, so those mates and family who are on the fence can be persuaded to head bush more often. One of the best ways you can make your campsite more comfortable is by adding a portable generator<\/strong><\/a> like the 2kVa<\/strong><\/a> or the Colossus 3.5kVa generator<\/strong><\/a> to your setup! Here\u2019s five reasons why we reckon a generator<\/strong> <\/a>is one of the best purchases you\u2019ll ever make.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. POWER JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANT, ANYWHERE YOU ARE
    \nThat\u2019s what we mean when we say a     generator<\/strong> <\/a>makes camping<\/strong> <\/a>more comfortable. Tell us you won\u2019t be the most popular bloke at camp when all the ladies are able to use a hair-drier powered by your generator<\/strong> <\/a>after having a swim all afternoon. If you camp out of a caravan with air conditioning, you\u2019ll be able to keep cool on the hottest nights at those free campsites. Whether it\u2019s a microwave, a coffee maker, a tele and sat dish to watch the footy from wherever you are or just about any other 240v-powered equipment, a generator<\/strong> <\/a>does a great job of bringing a few extra creature comforts back into camping<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. SIMPLE, CLEAN, EASY TO USE
    \nBoth the     2kVa<\/strong><\/a> and the Colossus 3.5kVa generators<\/strong><\/a> from 4WD Supacentre are made with ease-of-use in mind. For starters, both generators<\/strong> <\/a>are four-stroke, meaning they\u2019ll run on normal unleaded petrol \u2013 no more trying to pre-mix two-stroke fuel, wondering if you\u2019ve got the mixture right and then being smoked out when it does run. They\u2019re easy to use, easy to start and they\u2019ll go for ages on just a couple of litres of standard unleaded fuel.<\/li>\n
  3. SURPRISINGLY PORTABLE
    \nThe whole point of a     generator<\/strong> <\/a>is to produce easy power, but you can\u2019t call that power easy if you\u2019re constantly struggling to get it in and out of your 4WD or van! Both the Adventure Kings generators<\/strong><\/a> are surprisingly portable, with large sturdy carry handles. The Colossus 3.5kVa generator<\/strong><\/a> even comes with four heavy-duty wheels to make moving it and storing a breeze! That\u2019s exactly what you want when you\u2019re at camp, because you\u2019ll often want to run your generator<\/strong> <\/a>up over a sand-dune or behind a couple of trees to keep noise to a minimum.<\/li>\n
  4. FORGET THE STRESS OF FLAT BATTERIES<\/strong><\/a>
    \nHands up if you\u2019ve ever spent a night at camp worrying about your     batteries<\/strong><\/a> going flat? Maybe the solar didn\u2019t do much because it was overcast all day, or maybe the heat\u2019s just making your portable fridge<\/strong><\/a> run extra-hard. Whatever the reason, we\u2019ve all been there, watching the volt gauge drop and the fridge stop running because the voltage is too low. That\u2019s where a generator<\/strong> <\/a>becomes a life-saver, because at the simple pull of a starter cord, you can have your batteries<\/strong><\/a> charging back up to full in no time! If you\u2019re the kind of camper who stays in one spot for days at a time, running a 240v battery charger<\/strong><\/a> off your generator<\/strong> <\/a>for about two hours every afternoon will ensure your batteries<\/strong><\/a> stay completely topped-up the entire time.<\/li>\n
  5. USE IT AT HOME OR AT WORK TOO!
    \nThe     Adventure Kings generators<\/strong><\/a> aren\u2019t just good for camping, either. Use em on the jobsite to run powertools when you can\u2019t get access to mains power, or keep it topped up at home in the event of a power outage! If power does go out, if you\u2019ve got a 20L jerry can of unleaded fuel and your Adventure Kings generator<\/strong><\/a>, you\u2019ll be able to keep the fridge running for days. That definitely makes a generator<\/strong><\/a> one of the best purchases you\u2019ll ever make!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
