I just looked at the Champion and I have to say it looks good, but it may be to heavy. The reason I'm looking for a new generator(s) is because my 14 year old Kipor 3000 thats worked flawlessly over the years has finally developed a problem, and I'm weighing the differences between spending a few hundred, fixing it and continuing to lug around that heavy beast, or go to two smaller, lighter units.
If my Kipor were a bit lighter I would surely fix it.... Maybe I should go see a champion in person and check it out....
