Here at 4WD Supacentre, we sell a range of portable generators that are perfectly suited to taking out camping, no matter how big or small your setup is. For decades, Aussie campers have been using generators to power their campsites, but the big difference is that generators of yesteryear were noisy, hard to start, smokey and generally a massive pain in the backside to use! These days you can buy a quality four-stroke, easy-start generator for bugger-all money, and power just about anything you want at your campsite. A camping generator is easy to transport, easy to use and will bring the comforts of home to any campsite. Whether you need reliable 240v power for charging your batteries, watching the footy out bush, or even for health-related reasons like running a CPAP machine, the Adventure Kings 2kVA portable generator<\/strong><\/a> and the Adventure Kings 3.5kVa Colossus<\/strong><\/a> portable generator are build to take camping with you! Here\u2019s just a small selection of what our customers most commonly use their generators to power when they\u2019re camping.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1.BATTERY CHARGERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re parked up at that absolutely perfect campsite and the fish are biting, or you\u2019re just having fun enjoying relaxing around camp, then the last thing you want to do is stress about your batteries going flat! A portable generator lets you run all the 12v appliances you want, such as LED camping lights<\/strong><\/a>, portable fridge<\/strong><\/a>, inverters<\/strong> <\/a>and the like without running your batteries flat.<\/p>\n

Just add a 240v battery charger to your electrical system and run it off your generator and you\u2019ll never have to stress about flat batteries again. You\u2019ll find that just a couple of hours charging per afternoon will typically be enough to keep your batteries completely topped up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.AIR CONDITIONING<\/strong>
\nIf you\u2019ve made the step up into a nice comfortable caravan complete with air conditioning, then you\u2019ll want to make use of it as much as possible! Imagine how good it would be to run your air conditioning at a remote free camp on one of those horrible 30\u00b0C breezeless nights. The Adventure Kings Colossus 3.5kVA generator<\/strong><\/a> is capable of running just about any caravan air conditioning unit. That\u2019s camping in comfort!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3.TV AND SAT DISH<\/strong>
\nIf you\u2019re a footy fanatic or you just want to catch up on the news, then a small TV and a sat dish will let you keep in touch with the world wherever you are. A portable generator will ensure you can power your telly and your sat dish even when you\u2019re a hundred kilometres from the nearest 240v powered campsite. Just think how good it\u2019d be to watch the grand final out in the bush. You wouldn\u2019t have to get up all night to get a coldie from the fridge because you\u2019d be so popular, that\u2019s for sure<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4.MICROWAVE OVEN<\/strong>
\nWhether you have a crossover camper trailer, a caravan or a decked-out motorhome, carrying a small microwave oven with you when you go camping can let you cook dinner in minutes if you have a portable generator. However microwave ovens draw considerable amounts of power, and even a small 800w oven will use about 60A of power to run. Your batteries alone can\u2019t handle that, but if you\u2019ve got a constant healthy supply of 240v power from your generator then you\u2019re set to cook.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5.LIGHTING<\/strong>
\nMaybe you haven\u2019t quite made the switch to LED camp lights yet<\/strong><\/a>, and you\u2019re still using a full halogen camp lighting setup to light your camp up at night. A generator will let you run just about as many lights as you want, which is especially beneficial if you\u2019re camping with a couple of mates and have a large communal camp area to light, as well as your own campsite. Just run your generator 50m away from camp with a couple of extension cords and you\u2019re set.<\/p>\n

6.CPAP MACHINE<\/strong>
\nMany campers require 240v power to power medical related equipment such as CPAP machines. That doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re confined to cramped caravan parks though! If you need to power essential equipment throughout the day or the night then you can rely on your generator to keep everything running. Don\u2019t miss out on seeing the best parts of Australia, carry a portable generator!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
