Talked to the supervise at Parts America today and pleaded my case about the 15% discount coupon as stated by thw240 in an earlier post. He took about 30 seconds and refunded to my account the discount. I'm a happy camper now.
I ran the Champion today for about 45 min and after a break in time I hooked it to the RV and turned on the AC. It handeled it fine. I had 118 volts unloaded and with the air it dropped to 116 volts. After about 15 min I turned on the Microwave. It went to 109 volts. I think that is acceptable for a short period of time. When the Micro timed out it went back to 116 volts. I will check it again after I get a few hours on it.
Next project it to quiet it down some. It sounds to me that most of the noise is coming from the engine itself and not the exhaust. If the exhaust was extended outside of an enclosure and the muffler relocated outside I believe it would greatly reduce the noise and reduce the heat build up inside. That is about what Honda has done with their quiet generators. I will be working on this theory and post as I go along. I work slow so be patient.
