dfy6500h_elec.jpgOne of the most important items needed for travelling around Australia is a generator.

However, Sheila would probably disagree and suggest that an indoor shower and toilet is the most important!

But those practical souls among us know that without a reliable generator, none of the luxuries we like to have along with us would function.

For me, it is very important that it be reliable, affordable, good output and a good weight. I don’t want anything too heavy. Because I’m building the bus from the bottom up, I have control over how heavy the bus will be. I’ll explain later why I think it’s important to keep it light.

I’ve been investagating generators now for a couple of months and I’ve settled on the Ducar 6.5 Generator.

It’s features are:

  • 6.6KVA / 13hp
  • Electric Start
  • Voltmeter
  • On Wheels/ Castors
  • 2 AC Plugs
  • 25L Fuel Tank
  • Circuit Breaker Switch
  • Battery included
  • I’ve picked one up for AUS$599.00 which I think is a good price.

    After it’s been delivered and I’ve had a chance to test it out, I’ll post a review for you all.
