Generator Bargain

That is a really good deal!!!!

I did not get that good of a deal on my Champion! However, I couldn't be happier with it. It does everything we ask it! I would say buy it

Thats the one with two wheel and folding pull handles...

Might even fit in the storage bay...



It not much of a bigger footprint as the Honda 2KW EU20001 generator... Probably still would take two folks to man handle it around I suspect..

Oh yea! I've seen that one before talked about on these forums. First time I saw one like that (photos), I though it was a new tear drop style camper. Of course, at the time, it was the only thing in the photo, and nothing to compare the size. So it looked like a camper, or a 2 wheeled type small travel trailer.

That thing sure is cute as a button though. But I've got a decent genny. Don't need another one.... yet!

It's pretty heavy but with the wheels and handle, it's not too bad to handle. For me it's a struggle to lift it into the bed of my truck, but usually there is always someone around to help. Unfortunately it's a little too big to fit into the storage compartment in my new 5er. I wish it would because I could use the extra pin weight. You can't really compare it fairly to the Honda 2000. It takes 2 of them to run my AC and they are expensive (times 2). To me, it's a great unit that is powerful enough to do the job and is very affordable. The remote start is great (I don't have to go outside in my P-Js to turn it on or off).

This is not the parallel capable version, so if you care about that, just a warning. It's a bit heavier than the recoil start version because of the battery and starter. I got one (of the lighter and parallel capable versions) for a similar price from Costco this spring. I just finished breaking it in. It isn't quite as quiet as a 2000 Honda, but it's reasonably quiet, has a 30A RV socket as well as a 20A GFCI duplex socket, and a 12V power socket, is easy to use, and isn't too bad to move around for the size. It does have kind of a small fuel tank, but that's ok with me. I don't plan to run it more than an hour or two at a time.
It does a nice job of starting my AC system even in Eco mode, and I don't have to worry about powering everything else down in the trailer when trying to charge batteries.

fits in my Dp storage compartments very nicely

Either will run a 13,500 btu AC and a little more.

108 lbs to some maybe too much to handle but if you lift it and buck it like a bale of hay and use you leg to help lift it it should be a piece of cake.
