You\u2019ll soon wonder how you ever lived without one. However, before you purchase a generator, make sure to select a model that fits your power needs.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to generators, size does matter. Make sure you get the right amount of power for the right price. Here\u2019s a math equation you\u2019ll want to consider: Amps x Volts = Watts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Wattage-Chart-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1472 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Wattage-Chart-2-369x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Appliance Wattage Chart\" width=\"178\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Wattage-Chart-2-369x1024.jpg 369w, https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Wattage-Chart-2-108x300.jpg 108w, https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Wattage-Chart-2-300x834.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Wattage-Chart-2.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 178px) 100vw, 178px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Before considering your generator options, take a look around your RV or camper. What accessories, equipment, and devices will you need power to operate? A coffee maker, a TV, a laptop, an air conditioner? Will you need to charge or run any of these at the same time? To determine what size generator you will need, add up the total watts of all the items for which you\u2019ll need power and select a generator model that can easily handle your anticipated needs. At Mi-T-M, we\u2019ll be glad to help you make these calculations.<\/p>\n<h2>How Can Mi-T-M Help?
