ok, despite my comments about them being heavy and smelly, atleast when
transporting I'm starting to come round to the idea that faced with the cost
of some juicy solar panels would be well on way to any time any where use
of a genny. thinking for charging battery(ies) and supplying light use mains
equipment.

seems there are some really cheap 2 strokes, then some 4 strokes and finally
atleast in a portable sense the suitcase elctronic invertor types. the latter
are dearer per kW but generally lighter and more suited to running computer
and sensitive devices.

the overal price range from 2 stroke via 4 then invertor 4strokes around 1kW
output seem to be £80,£150, and £250 respectively, any thoughts guys.

oh and the invertor types tend to be quieter too presume down to enclosed
cases and maybe the invertor as a genny?
