How does a generator for outdoor camping work?
Does it use the gas from the car it’s hooked up to? Is there any danger of damaging or causing the car to die? Risks/benefits? I’m asking all this because I’m going on a five-day, overnight concert and wanted to power some iPod speakers and a couple of tiny string lights. Generators are expensive… are there alternative options besides batteries?
Sort of a dumb question, but thanks in advance for your help!
Ok first off a generator doesn’t use gas from your car or truck unless you have it rigged to do that. Generators normally have their own gas tank that you have to fill. All they do is operate just like your car engine and uses a power converter to the outlets so you can use it to power stuff. THey have been around for a long time.
You can get a small 800W generator to run all of that. Really what you are trying to run takes hardly any power. Yes generators are not cheap depending on what your definition of expensive is. You can get a used small generator for about $100.
Alternatives? Turn your car on and run that instead. It will do the same thing just need an outlet converter, normally about $45 for a good one.
