CW generator - Champion 4000
Just bought a new generator for the TT, it is the Champion 4000 from CW. We were going for the inverter but the price was too high for our budget; for $300 hundred got the champion and will be able to...

"No stroke; within 12 day's of turning 65, I'm perfectly healthy, wasn't even a rant, (guess you REALLY don't know me)......Now you've met one Champion 4000 owner that's NOT embarrassed by the noise they make or regretted their purchase. Reliability was great for me for 3 yrs and son and DIL use it if and when needed, no problem..guess it's that "hear-say" again, huh? I don't believe everything I read on the internet..and the Honda and Yamaha are FAR more expensive than the piece of******Champion that can do the same job, or at least it did for us for 7 day's with no electricity....paid for itself as far as the wife and I were concerned
As you alluded to, I DON'T boon dock, so I don't fit the loser who has the nerve to fire one of those cheap genny's up when you're boon docking....Some people buy generators for other reasons...At the time, I also used the 4000 At home when we lost power.....Had A LOT of people wanting to know where they could get one ....Kept the fridge, lights and TV going for the grand kids...I didn't need to spend a chunk of change for that....Now I have, of all horrors, a Champion 7500/9000 that will power quite a bit of my house in a power loss situation and will also power my entire 5er if I lose power....Don't worry, don't have a stoke, I'll never be boon-docking anywhere near you..so we should be good
oh, I'm kinda stupid, don't know what YMMV means? But I did understand "opinion" "
First of all glad to hear you are healthy at 65, right behind you at 63. The Champion can NOT do the same job as a Honda or Yamaha. It is not an inverter type generator and will fry sensitive electronics/appliances. Also, it does NOT do the same job as it is far louder and burns more fuel. You keep going on about boon docking and generator use in time of natural disasters which have nothing to do with this thread. The objections to the use of the Champion are based upon its use in crowded campgrounds where the noise affects lots of folks.
I don't believe everything I read on the internet either but the sheer volume of complaints regarding reliability and parts/service availability are substantial. Glad to hear you're happy with your Champion and if its use only affected you we would not be having this discussion. I suppose next you will tell us all how quiet the 7500/9000 Champions are. :S
The fact is every time you light it off you put out an inordinate amount of noise. If there is no one to hear it or there is a natural disaster then nobody will care but.... for the purposes of this discussion lots of folks read these threads and believe the nonsense that they are an acceptable alternative to a quality product, which they are not. They end up buying these things and taking them to the local campground where their use is a big problem for a lot of others.
For the record: YMMV = Your mileage may vary
