Generators and surge protectors
Howdy all, Another newbie question. How essential is having a generator and what kind would I want to look for? Along the same lines what about surge protectors? Thanks.

Whether they are necessary or not will ultimately be your call, but many get by with or without them. It boils down to what type of RVing you plan to do. If you plan to be in RV parks where hookups are always available, more than likely you could bypass having a genny, but a surge protector could be important particularly at older parks. A generator can be handy with mixed or mostly off the power grid style of camping, consideration for how much energy in watts is required to power all the devices you desire to run (at the same time) is critical for deciding size and type of genny. We prefer to boondock and drycamp making a generator mandatory, just love being able to press a single button to power our entire rig as if we were plugged into shore power.
