Is Flex Power Portable 2200w Generator Enough For Dry Camping In Small travel Trailer - Coffee Maker

Published 06/17/2026

Question:

I’m looking at the Flex Power 2200-watt generator for dry camping with my small travel trailer. I mostly need to charge batteries, run lights, charge phones, and maybe use a coffee maker. Is FP34FR enough for that?

Good morning Mark! Yes, the Flex Power 2,200-Watt Portable Inverter Generator # FP34FR is a good fit for that kind of lighter off-grid setup. It has 2,200 starting watts and 1,900 rated/running watts, so it is best matched to essentials like battery charging, lights, phones, laptops, TVs, and smaller campsite appliances.

The coffee maker is the one item I’d pay closer attention to, since some coffee makers pull a pretty heavy load while heating. I’d run that by itself or with only smaller loads going at the same time. I would not treat this smaller generator as the go-to choice for a full-size RV rooftop air conditioner unless you have checked the A/C’s starting and running watts and confirmed they are within the generator’s ratings. What size trailer are you setting this up with?
