They also periodically get smaller ones in, can't remember the spec, but they are specifically for camping, ie very quiet, and retail for just under £100. Probably the next step down from that one.

always tempted to get one, to really camp in style, or to run a fridge/freezer for the weekend. But I don't know how quiet they actually wind up being. Cos you don't need a lot of noise at a campsite at 3am to keep people awake.

I'd consider getting one if they were a bit cheaper or someone else was willing to share the costs - someone whose events we mutually attend meaning that we can use it at each others events. £150 is a little more than we can afford at this time but £75 or even £50 would be doable.

The noise would not be a problem at a sci fi event but it may be at a fantasy. But then most events where there are generators in the site tend to turn them off when things are time in (saves fuel as well).

We did get a lot of mileage out of a set of solar panels linked to a leisure battery at a few events. Was able to light a canvas tent with fluorescent bulbs and recharge phones from it without using anything non renewable. And it looked very IC for a post apocalypse setting
