Yes, we've run laptops on just about every kind of cheap inverter and

Speaking of generators there is a single engine airplane with a pair
of 300 Amp 28 Volt generators. Gear driven, no belts or chains to
break. A third smaller unit is available when all else fails.

Yamaha makes a nice 2000 watt generator for $989. Quite frankly, I
feel stupid buying a generator because it implies I am a slave to
electrical stuff. Neither my cabin nor boat needs a generator
normally but power tools will make the renovation much faster. When I
look at the logs on the cabin and realize it was built by two guys
using only axes, I think "Gawd, I am such a wimp for using
electricity".
