Generator Recommendations
We've been dry camping a lot more and our poor old generator has seen the last of it's days. It was one we had before we bought our TT and it would recharge the batteries, but wouldn't run the AC. ...

Sorry but I have owned both a Honda 3000 and a Champion 3100 and if I had to buy another one tomorrow I would buy another Champion 3100 without a second thought. Then I would take the remaining $1600 I would have spend on another Honda and take a month RV trip. Not knocking Honda it was a good generator also. It may be a hair quieter if any but for the price it is no comparison to the Champion. I had about 400 hours on the Honda before someone needed more than me but as of now I have 350 hours on the Champion with no issues what so ever.
Agree. I have the Honda EU7000 and I have a Champion 5500 watt construction generator. That Champion set out side for two years while building a house. Never failed to start. Never had an issue. Ended up selling it to a sub once we had utility hooked up and no longer needed it. People that denigrate Champion have never owned one.
Plus, with the savings you could buy a second 3100 and parallel it to have more wattage than you'll ever need. :)
2 dual fuel Champions and the parallel kit for $2300 or the same setup in Honda for $4200. I know that if Champion would've had this generator when I was shopping, I would've got it in a heartbeat vs. my Honda 7000. Boondocking at NASCAR in the summer requires both AC units sometimes and I needed wattage.
Anyone want to buy a Honda EU7000is with remote start? LOL
