Should I bring a backup generator? July 25, 2024 at 8:40 am #41356 IA_CamperParticipant Joined: Jan 2024 Posts: 109 Likes: 113LikeUp1::Yes, always. Its cheap insurance. We’ve had the power go out 3 times (that I can remember) over the last 15 years. So not alot, but it does happen and the generator helped each time.
