be kind of hard to take the whole house generator camping.
Well, yeah... unfortunately, an auto-accident in 2017 put paid to my camping days. Not to mention hiking. I'm headed for Canada next summer and weep when I think of all the beautiful trails I could be doing....

But I did one hurricane without a whole house generator, and that was why we got one. Have since done two WITH the generator. Noooo comparison!

I have this: https://a.co/d/d8Gewi7 It gives me a full night (without humidifier) on a charge, and you can charge it by wall outlet, plugging into the car cigarette lighter, or if you have a solar panel (solar panel does NOT come with the $99 version). You can buy larger ones with more power.

No noise, no smell, quiet operation. Works with AC, DC, or USB output. Works fine on my series 10.

Things sure have improved for getting emergency power! Do you simply turn off your humidifier, then? I'm betting it wouldn't last for my ASV.
