I was going to post this in the Conversion Van section but this easily applies to travel trailers, pop-ups, and other small rigs. I am thinking of getting a Honda 2000 for use with our van in the early spring and late fall. Our heater is a 1000w- 1500w electric unit. Our early and late season camping is now limited in the most part to places that have electrical hook-ups. If we had a portable generator it would extend our season.
The problem is keeping the portable generator secure for our use and not having it walk off. Have seen people with travel trailers park the unit under their trailer, by the door and chain it to the trailer axle when it was in use.
Those of you that use portable generators, how do you make them usable yet keep them fairly safe?? What is your experience?
