The Honda 20i seems to be the genny of choice albeit at a price.
For a true silent Genny have a look at the Efoy Comfort range, great idea and the way forward IMHO, although quite expensive.

Is the there such a thing as a silent generator? Think you would have to ask your fellow campers that.

If you just want to charge your battery, watch telly and nothing more the Honda i10 is enough Ours does a week on a gallon of unleaded that's running maybe 3/4 hrs per night and slipped under back of van with the exhaust sticking out you can't hear it from the front Some sites however do ban them and we only really use ours on sites with no electric when parked next to a hedge

Just checked the price of Efoy comfort 210 couldn,t believe my eyes. Its just under £5000. Can,t see many people being prepared to pay that amount for camping use.

Hi pnefan, they are selling very well in the U.S.A. but I guess another £5k on top of say £50k for a MotorHome is small cheese.

When you say you want a generator to power a caravan what exactly do you mean, just to charge the onboard leisure battery?
