We have two Honda 2000 watt generators, but the entire two weeks we were out there, we only used one of them and got along quite well. If the weather had been warmer to almost hot, we would have run both Honda's so an A/C could be operated. We have two group 27 batteries, so were able to make it through the nights without generator power, and then each next day ran the generator to recharge the batteries. You do have to manage your power use at night so you don't run the batteries down to a damaging level. There are several quiet inverter type generators on the market now that are suitable for the type camping in fairly close quarters like most of us were in out there. Contractor open frame generators aren't recommended due to the higher noise level and they also don't provide as safe a quality of electric power that will keep your electronics safe in your rig. Besides generators, many of us have water bladders so water can be added to your rig while out there, and we have pumper services come out to pump out your waste tanks, and they have been running $40 per rig for all the tanks each visit. That all takes care of electric, water, and sewer, so almost as good as full hookups in a park, but without the rent. Looking forward to seeing you out there next year.
