What would make the overload light come on on my GenSet???

I have an little Sportsman GEN1000i genny and yes it was inexpensive and not the Honda. It is under a month old and has been powering my Lance 3000 shore power flawlessly until today. The "Overload"...

Not sure where some are getting their numbers. 800 Watts continuous is about 6.66 amps without figuring in power factors. Even at 1000 watts is only 8.3 amps.
Genset
OP I believe you smoked the genset when you saw the white smoke.
My PD9245 draws 725 watts when fully loaded and charging.
