A fantastic thread!
Yet another candidate 3/3.5KW unit is the Gentron 3500 Pro RV with electric start. Made by JD (their model JD3500e) this one, like the Champion, has the 30A RV socket built in. Seems to run everything OK. Noise rating is 67 dbA. Because I'm stationary, I enclosed the generator in a low, plastic, insulated garden shed with push-pull blowers and exhaust ported to the outside (temperature rise inside is modest). Very Honda-like if you're going to sit still and are willing to go to this trouble.
I bought mine on the net with free shipping from generatordepot.us for $419. Now they seem to be out of them until sometime in August but there are other Internet sources.
I was going to go with the Champion for $299 at Kragens but I wanted electric start.
Regards,
Jim
