Just curious have you have researched where you will be allowed to run your outside generator for long periods of times...
Granted many public campgrounds will have generator run time restrictions in place. Alot of the NATL FOREST areas may allow you to run a generator from 8AM to 8PM but the ones we usually find still have the two hours in the morning an maybe three hours in the early evening. Never allowed to run after 8PM anywhere... Your high wattage CHAMPION generator is going to be pretty loud as well...
This only leaves PRIVATE places and perhaps some OHV Camping - Dispersed Camping in the Western States. Not much of that style of camping located here on the East side of the USA including Texas and Okla.
Putting alot of money into a generator setup with extended run time etc and then finding out there isn't many places you will get to use the system would sure impact some of my planning thoughts...
Just curious how you are finding this availability to use where you will be camping...
