Tim,

Any activity from the SW will be very welcomed on 4m!
If as you say your station will be relatively modest do you really
need a 2.5 - 3kW Genny?
One aspect to consider is the weight of the unit, unless you have 
assistance (or into weightlifting) a genny of this capacity might be 
difficult to lift in & out of the back of a Landy.
If you run all 12v equipment then a smaller genny charging the vehicle 
battery might be an easier solution. You might also be able to run a 
bigger amplifier from a 12 - 230V inverter but this is something which 
I've not tried.
