-**Notes**:   
  
-  * inverter vs standard generators are unrelated to [[electrical:inverter#msw_and_electronics|the PSW vs MSW inverter issue]].  All portable generators output Pure Sine Wave because they make power from a spinning source.   
-  * Due to their different internal design inverter generators are often much lighter for the same output rating.

 It is common to leave generators quiet in times of darkness, and to not run them when close to other campers.  It is common to leave generators quiet in times of darkness, and to not run them when close to other campers.
