From experience, enforcement of the law is a totally different matter. If the police are involved, they more than likely to ask you to move on than charge you. Plus, there is a whole avalanche of serious crime to be delt with, making someone responsibly wild camping way way down the list, of...

What is dodgy about it ? If it's for mains application, this sort of thing, https://uk.rs-online.com/mobile/p/power-conditioners/5489385/ I used to have a computer specific "controler" which also had a inverter/battery backup, but it was bought 20+ years ago, and I have since given it away...

you can buy stabilizers to put in line with standard generators to protect appliances from damage.
