We'll know in a month or so how it works (or it won't work, or it will kill our battery - one way or the other, we'll know ... if it doesn't work out then we'll buy the generator.
I really hate giving up that storage space, and hoped we'd not have another headache too - that is, carrying extra fuel can.
