Also if you can take a couple of small UPS devices along and plug them  
into the generator power and your equipment into them.. That way you  
have surge etc protection and crash protection!!

Small UPS's are not too heavy and although may only last say 5 minutes  
or 10 minutes in a power outage can be a godsend for isolating your  
equipment from power glitches surges etc.  (and that is in any  
situation  nor just outdoor stage situations)

I have a couple of small APC UPS's that are great for the job (each  
not much bigger than a shoe box) .. They have 4 outputs each and work  
brilliantly.
I have used them in live music situations here I have laptops etc  
plugged in to ensure clean power and some crash protection.   Not  
perfect but gives me a lotta peace of mind
