Question:

What is the different between RV generator, mobile generator, home standby generator and portable generator?

I have to distinct between these generator. Do any website provide detail of all type of generator for purpose of study? My main intention is how to differentiate mobile generator from others.

Answer:

Terminology may vary between manufacturers or dealers, but here is how I interpret the differences. RV generator is mounted internally to the RV. Remote start, feeds power to selected RV circuits only. It is supplied fuel from the vehicle tank. Typically up to about 8kW.
There is no significant difference. Any generator suitable for one of these uses could be used without change for any of the others. The term standby generator usually implies a machine which is too large to be easily moved.
