Generators for Caravans FAQs
What size generator do I need for my caravan?
The right generator size depends on the total wattage of the appliances you are planning to run. As a general rule, a 2000–2400W inverter generator will comfortably power essentials such as fridges and small air conditioners. Always check your appliance requirements before travelling to avoid overloading.
Are inverter generators better for caravans?
Yes, inverter generators are more fuel-efficient and produce cleaner power, making them safe for sensitive electronics such as laptops and TVs. They are also compact and portable, which makes them ideal for caravanning and camping.
Can I use my caravan generator at powered campsites?
You can, but many powered sites already provide mains electricity. Generators are most useful when camping off-grid or during power outages. Always check the campsite’s rules, as some have restrictions on generator use due to noise limits.
How noisy are caravan generators?
Modern inverter generators are designed to operate more quietly, many produce as little as 50–60 decibels, roughly the sound of a normal conversation. This makes them ideal for use in campgrounds without disturbing neighbours.

Most caravan generators run on unleaded petrol, though some dual-fuel models can operate on LPG as well. Always use fresh fuel and store it safely in a certified container to maintain optimal performance.
