Hi,<br><br>I'm trying to plan out how I will have power in my van. Basically, I need a power supply mostly to make food (using a microwave or small hot plate). Not being mechanically gifted, it seems that a generator will fit the bill for my needs. Not being super rich though, I also would rather not have to lay out more than $500. I noticed a number of models on Amazon that put out about 2000 - 4000 W, have two normal outlets from which small appliances can be run, and produce a sound of about 60 decibels. They cost under $300. Does ayone have an opinion if such models are a good buy or are they "pennywise and pound foolish"? The models I have in mind are DuroStar, Champion, WEN and All America Power. The negative reviews of these products on Amazon give me the impression that there are a small percentage that don't work, and that sometimes they do not handle large draws very well. <br><br>Not quite sure how all of this translates to my situation. Interested in any experiences or advice on this matter anyone would like to share with me.<br><br>TIA,<br>Wintersmith<br>
