Horsebox generators

[tiger_feet]

I've just bought a new horsebox that is all set up for 240v hook up and charging of the leisure battery off a generator. I've no idea about generators and looking for advice as to what type of generator I need to run a microwave, tv etc. I'm on a limited budget so need something that does the job but doesn't break the bank! Does anyone have suggestions?

we sometimes use those little wolf 750 or 958 gennys - they will power up a hairdryer, micowave ,TV but not all appliances at once - they are cheap and cheerful -

or the sumo is pretty good

No idea as we have well charged leisure battery that surfices for our needs but...... please find a nice quiet one! Seem to always park next to lorries with noisy generators that seem to run until about 1am even if the show ground has a rule about switching off at 10!
