Generators

Portable power solutions

Keeping the fridge running and the lights on is the difference between a rough night and a cracking trip. A reliable camping generator ensures you have the power to run essential gear even when you are miles from the nearest mains plug. Modern inverter technology has completely changed the game, offering clean power for sensitive electronics like laptops and phones. Our range of portable generators is built tough to handle whatever you may throw at it on your next off-road adventure.

Why inverter generators are the gold standard

Choosing a generator for a crowded campground means being a good neighbour. A standard industrial generator is far too loud for a quiet night under the stars. An inverter generator is designed to throttle its engine down when demand is low, making it a much quieter camping generator option.

Many of our units are compact enough to lift with one hand, making them the perfect companion for a quick weekend getaway. If you prefer a completely silent setup for smaller devices, check our range of portable power stations for a battery-based alternative.

Matching your generator to your power needs

The right size for your portable generator depends on the "surge" and "running" watts of your gear.

• 1kVA to 2kVA Units: These are the sweet spot for most campers. A 2kVA generator can easily run LED lights, charge your devices, and keep a portable fridge humming.
• 3kVA and Above: You will need this extra grunt if you plan on running heavy-duty gear. This is the go-to size for a generator for caravan air conditioner units or a microwave during a mid-summer trip to the Top End. Always calculate your total wattage before you head off to ensure you aren't overloading your system. To keep your setup organised, browse our power cables and adapters to safely distribute electricity around your campsite.

Maintenance and safety on the tracks

A real BCFing expert knows that a generator is only as good as the fuel you feed it. Using fresh unleaded and checking the oil levels before every mission prevents a costly breakdown in the middle of nowhere.

During high fire danger periods, make sure your unit has a spark arrestor and check the local park regulations before pulling the starter cord. If you’re heading on a long adventure, grab a service kit to keep your gear in top nick while you’re out bush. Also, make sure that you always check the local park regulations before starting up your generator.
