I took a set up when I did a three day event, but doubt if I would do all that just for a one day market though.

If you need Public Liability, the National Market Traders Fed include it in their membership fee, and it is recoginsed by all the market people etc.

I would be very interested in how it all goes as well.

Good luck! Running a heat press off a generator is a tall order - the peak draw from a heating element is quite high much like starting a motor which is why soft starters were invented for motors to reduce the initial draw.

We use a Kipor 2.6KVa to run a commercial embroidery machine and laptop at shows and it works a treat :)
