taurus 1000w generator

[garret]

i am purchasing one of these on saturday from aldi

aldi.com.au/au/html/offers/2827_23479.htm

it is big enough to run all the power for my caravan, small box fridge, laptop, phone charger and 24v lighting system. (i have solar lights as backup)

for $349 it is not a bad price and i have read some excellent reviews of them on the interwebs.

it is only 28.6lb in weight (dry) so it is not overly heavy, i have space infront of the twin gas bottles on the drawbar of my van so i may build a small mounting plate and locking system for it

i run off mains power at the moment but if it all goes screwey i will at least keep my fridge going and access the laptop

Thanks for the link G
Don't need the Gennerator but some of the other stuff woulod be nice like the bikes and maybe the extra LPG bottle.
Hope the store here has some of it.

ok, so i didnt get the genny, apparently after reading a lot more online reviews it is not that good of a deal so i went with this instead

aldi.com.au/au/html/offers/2827_23478.htm

it will keep my laptop, phone and flashlights charged, it can also be used as a trickle charger for car batteries

i also picked up 4 of the lpg bottles too, i will be getting them filled today

I was looking at Harbor Freight yesterday at Genny's and they had two nice ones...one would back feed my house and the other would keep the lights on....but both were out of my price range. Maybe one day I can come across a used Genny with a Honda engine...

I had a friend who bought a geeny from HF, three days was all it lasted. They took it back and he ended up with a genrac
