Generators ... Grrr!

Half hour ever few days which will do more with a b2b charger than a genny will do all day gennys only charge 8amps max b2b 60 amps not rocket science and even if you move a few miles a day is enough top up changing
Sorry eyesight going should have been reply to zombies post one before

‘Engine RUNS for half hour’

Genny runs half hour,,,What’s the difference?

I use a separate Battery charger from my Genny rather than the built in charging 12v option I’m glad you’ve found what works for you and your lifestyle Well done !. If we was Parked up at the same place with you running your eng & me running my Genny for 30 mins or so Respectively then we could use the harvest from our efforts how we like.
For me it’s not about competition or forcing opinions, it’s about individual trial & error to find what works for ME then sharing to see if it can help anyone else.

It's no wonder the no overnight parking signs multiply if folk are running generators. It must annoy local residents for quite a distance from the miscreants.
I've seen generators run all day on campsites, often whilst the owners are away. Those who can do this with no conscience have the typical generator enthusiast "suits me so it's fine" attitude.
I don't expect it will ever change, even as technology makes generators even less necessary some will run them because it just suits their "needs" or saves them investing in a less obtrusive set up.

The only time I have seen aggression and things potentially explosive was wilding on the old spot between Marseillan and Sete (best wilding ever) in front was an elderly couple and front of that a well built German chap ....It drove him to the point he put sand in the fuel tank. I saw him do it. I warned the French chap driving me mad too but you have to be restrained...I got chatting with both of them and the German chap had a fantastic solar set up ..After the red mist lifted ironically we all got on and did a bread run .I am left with the conclusion he flipped!

There are times a genny would have been useful money wise I couldnt justify and space remembering I was full timing ...so it is deffo not a must have but a nice have.

Occasionally you have to think out the box and that is satisfying.
