Generators

Reliable Petrol Generators for Camping, Baches & Emergency Backup.

Petrol generators are an essential power source for New Zealanders who love to explore off the beaten track. Whether you are freedom camping in a remote regional park, powering a tool at the bach, or ensuring your home has emergency backup during a storm, a reliable generator provides peace of mind and independence from the grid. At RV World, we only stock brands with a proven track record for durability and New Zealand-wide support, featuring our preferred manufacturers: GT Power and Powertec.

Why Choose Inverter Technology for Your RV?

Most of our portable range consists of Inverter Generators. Unlike traditional "open frame" industrial generators, inverter models are specifically designed for the leisure market. They offer three critical advantages for caravanners:

• Pure Sine Wave Power: These units produce "clean" electricity identical to the power in your home. This makes them perfectly safe for sensitive electronics like laptops, smartphones, Smart TVs, and CPAP machines.
• Whisper-Quiet Operation: Encased in silenced housings, models like the GT Power GT2500 or Powertec PT3200i operate at decibel levels similar to a normal conversation, ensuring you don't disturb your neighbours or the local wildlife.
• Smart Throttle Efficiency: Inverter generators automatically adjust their engine speed to match the electrical load. If you are only charging a phone, the engine drops to an idle, saving fuel and reducing noise.

Power for Every Application

From compact, lightweight "suitcase" generators that can be carried in one hand to high-output 8000W units capable of running multiple air conditioning units and heavy-duty tools, we have a solution for every need. Key features to look for in our range include:

• Electric & Remote Start: Many of our GT Power models feature push-button electric start or wireless remote fobs, allowing you to fire up the generator from inside your warm caravan.
• Parallel Compatibility: Need more power later? Many of our Powertec and GT Power units are "Parallel Ready," allowing you to link two identical generators together to double your wattage output.
• Long-Range Fuel Tanks: Designed for New Zealand conditions, our generators offer extended run times—often up to 10 hours on a single tank—to keep your fridge and lights running all night long.

Expert Support and Comparison

Choosing the right generator depends on your total "starting load" (the surge of power needed to start appliances like pumps or fridges). Use our handy comparison tool on each product page to evaluate weight, noise ratings, and power output side-by-side. With extensive warranties on GT Power units, you can invest with confidence.
