Let's say you were driving at night during rain. Headlights on (~120 w), lamps (~40 w), wipers (~40 w), blower for demisting the windscreen (~40 w) and you have  a consumption of about 240 watts. The 22 amp gen puts out 285 watts at a maximum, and I've not calculated the power needed for the ignition and maybe other small consumers. Not to forget the max output figures counted for new gens and have always been on the optimistic side.

Actually, the 22 amp might actually be better, less chance of frying
your VR if you drain the battery.

As long as you don't have a high powered boom box or 4 fog lights on
the front you should be fine.

The gen will normally be only charging minimally anyway.
