I'm slapping my forehead for forgetting this option. It does seem silly that after paying a fortune for the mount that I'm reluctant to pay a fortune for a good inverter generator too. I'm such a cheapskate.

These little Honda generators are cheaper now than they used to be.If you are considering US$750 + shipping + GST etc for a power pack then the generator makes sense.
Its also handy as it can power your campsite like lights, computers, DVD player and TV etc. Things that don't use a lot of power but make life more comfortable including an electric blanket (they don't seem to draw much power)!
Plus they are handy as they will power light power tools like grinders and electric drills, power saws etc.
