We are expecting a big ice storm this weekend. Last year we have one and were short power for 2 weeks. I dont now anything roughly speaking generators. We live contained by a mobile home and would like one that would run boil, fridge, tv, etc. Can anyone out there make available me some advise on buying a generator?
Answers:    Hi Jen,
There are several websites that hold calculators for this. Here is the best one, you may like to try!

Generators are incredibly nice when the power goes out! I enjoy 2 that were salvage out of motor homes, and wouldn't part near them.
Generators however are expensive, so if you run only the things you *must* own I'm sure you will find a generator that's right for you!
PS **Always** add a "Sta-bil" to your generator gas. You won't own a generator that won't crank because of stale gas and clogged carb.
Minimum of 8 to 9,000 watt. Honda is the best and will run forever.
