definitely looks worth it, the chap knows his stuff and at the very least you can assess whether it is worth repairing the genset. Also, even if the alternator is fucked maybe he might buy it for spares, as a hippy might want it to convert to lpg and generate 12V to create a source of more eco-friendly power. if I didn’t live in town I’d have been interested but its too noisy a backup for me when I’ve got two UPS in the house anyway and to be fair since Sir Li bought the electric network the power’s been slightly more reliable here (apart from weather). Chinese have a good reputation for “keeping the lights on” – its part of the culture especialy in winter (which makes sense so you don’t collide into things in the dark!) and they managed to convince the other races in Malaya that it was a good thing to have electric light and didn’t offend Islam/other gods etc and even when the Japs stormed the place they left the Chinese alone provided they kept the power stations running.
TBH if you’re still living in the caravan I’d keep at least one genset and 12/24V battery power ready anyway (or even in Felixstowe if your leccy is still as flaky as it was a few years ago). You lot seem to get the rough end of the deal TBH, Sizewell on your doorstep and dodgy electric..
