Portable Generators FAQs

What brands of portable generators does True Gear stock?

True Gear stocks a solid range of trusted brands including Gentech, Westinghouse, Welling & Crossley, Champion, Hyundai, Briggs & Stratton, and Macfarlane. Whether you're after a Honda-powered workhorse or a quiet inverter for the campsite, there's something here for most budgets and applications.

What size portable generator do I need for camping or caravanning?

For camping or caravan use, a 2-3.5kVA inverter generator is usually enough to run a fridge, lights, phone chargers, and a small appliance at the same time. If you're running an air conditioner, you'll want to step up to at least 3.5-5kVA. Inverter generators are the go-to for campsite use - they're quieter and safer for sensitive electronics like laptops and CPAP machines.

What's the difference between an inverter generator and an open frame generator?

An inverter generator produces clean, stable power that's safe for sensitive electronics, runs quieter, and is more fuel-efficient at lower loads. They're ideal for camping, caravanning, and anywhere noise matters. Open frame generators are typically louder and heavier, but they deliver more raw output for the money - better suited to job sites, powering tools, or running high-draw appliances where clean power isn't critical.

How much does a portable generator cost in Australia?

Prices vary a fair bit depending on size and type. Compact inverter generators start around $1,000-$1,500 for a 3kVA unit. Mid-range petrol generators in the 5-8kVA range typically run $2,000-$3,500. Larger commercial units (10kVA+) can push well past $5,000. True Gear stocks options across all these price points, and most brands come with Australian warranties.

Do portable generators come with a warranty in Australia?

Yes - all generators sold through True Gear come with manufacturer warranties backed in Australia. Warranty periods vary by brand and model, typically ranging from 12 months through to 3+ years for some commercial units. Because True Gear is an authorised Australian dealer, warranty claims are handled locally - you're not stuck trying to deal with an overseas supplier.
