Electricity powers our lives, quite literally, and whether you’re in your house or your RV, a power outage is never good news. Why not give yourself some security for emergency situations by purchasing your own portable generator? Generators have become quite small and easy to transport, making them useful for houses and RVs alike. You can even use them for work!

Independence RV in Winter Garden is your Florida portable generator dealer. Read on to learn a few of the many benefits you’ll get when you own a portable generator.

1. Easy to Transport

While you might have seen very large generators before, a portable generator is nothing like these behemoths. You can often roll them around or even carry them by hand or in a bag. This means they’ll fit easily into your car, truck or trailer when they have to be transported, and you can easily store them out of the way in your garage or basement when they’re not in use.

2. Simple to Operate

While you might be worried that a generator could be difficult to use, the truth is that they’re designed to be very simple for most people to operate so that they’re as useful as possible. Your portable generator will come with directions on how to fuel it up, handle it and operate the device, which usually just means pushing a button.

3. Useful in a Crisis

Your portable generator can also be extremely convenient to have in an emergency situation. Extreme weather events, downed trees or an overload of the power grid can cause an outage at your campground or in your neighborhood. If you’ve got your generator handy and all juiced up, then you can use it to power up your RV or provide power to crucial items, like cell phones and medical devices and your fridge, until power is restored.

4. Extremely Versatile

We’ve already highlighted several potential uses for portable generators above, but there are even more! Here are a few ideas for how to use your generator on a regular basis:

  • Take your generator to the park to power up a stereo system for a picnic.
  • Use your generator in the backyard or on a worksite to fuel power equipment and tools.
  • Power a mobile office set-up with a generator if you have to work in a rural area.
  • Use your generator for camping in the backyard with the kids.
