Caravan Generator Size Calculator

Work out the minimum generator size for your caravan, based on your biggest motor's starting surge plus everything else you'd run at the same time.

Compressor fridges and reverse-cycle air conditioners draw a short surge of roughly 2-3x their running wattage for a second or two on start-up - this surge, not the running load, is what actually determines the generator you need. This is a planning estimate only: check your specific appliance's data plate and your generator's continuous/surge rating before buying. For a full appliance-by-appliance breakdown of your daily power draw, see the Daily Power Usage Calculator.
