Generator Silencing

My solution has been to simply be far enough away from other campers that it is not an issue. We like places away from others anyway.

Also when with a club group we tend to corral a campsite away from others where possible and then shre the power from one or two gennies during the day so nise is not an issue. We never run gennies after about 6pm.

Just gotta use that uncommon sense Jimbo!! How does using the Kipor compare to your previous Solar setup?

Here's a 2 Kva Kipor which makes very little noise.....

Baffled box is great Jimbo - I don't know whats used in that box , but you can buy heavy weight sound absorbing part lead sheets at Jaycar.

Also bike shops sell small sheet packs of stuff for re-doing muflers as they burn out over time.

You can however get a significant effect from a short piece of flexible metal pipe which goes over the exhaust end and just diverts sound down close to ground - sort used as a jerry can funnel - this causes the sound to have to be reflected from the ground and majority goes up.
Not as good as box but cost effective. We carry a couple of such devices to put over exhausts on our trail bikes when around others.

Before we bought the Honda, we looked a plans of silencer boxes from people on this and other forums. They all used an extractor fan of one type or another. The guy at the shop where we bought the genny said don't do it - using any sort of box would be too hot and would invalidate the warranty. As it is, some people have problems with the Honda overload tripping when running a caravan air conditioner in very hot weather.

hi mate long time no speak.

swing past with it so I can have a look , ill make something up for you .

If it's ideas that you're after, have a look at this site Generator Box it could be of some help to you - and others.

I generally find that my wheel parked on top of a genny makes em pretty quiet :-) LOL

seriously its easy to make up a baffled box like stated, with fans etc powered by gennie, use a combo of reflection and absorbsion with accoustical foams and mass deadening.

I have the perfect solution for dill's like you.

and that is

buy a Honda 2.0i in the first place and you wouldn't have this agro, sleep deprivating problem that will cause Mrs Baz to do unspeakable thinks to you if you happen to fire up the said 'yellow peril' in her vicinity.

If you don't believe me just ask Rock Crawler, Pesty and Truckster as all three have been on the receiving end of her intimate robust and very descriptive prescriptive dialogue.
