Well, I already have a wee gennie, and it started second pull after sitting for 3 years unused! So I hooked it up to my charger and.... The charger didn't like it. All the digits got muddled up on the readout, so I guess the input from the gennie is a bit 'dirty'.

However, worked OK when hooked up to a 12v battery through a 12v charger/power supply, which stabilized the voltage. So the answer for a long weekend might be a generator and a leisure battery. Just fire up the gennie when the battery gets a bit tired.

So, I'll see if I can find a decent big battery somewhere. Cheap!
