I thought that the whole point of having  110v is so you can use it with a  generator when there is no power supply (apart from safety issues)

If the transformer is £200 and weighs 40kilos then you might as well get a genny.

5kva or bigger generators are very heavy.
Mine is over 80kg!

THen it needs to be van-mounted.  You need lots of cabling, son.
