I am now ready to purchase a smaller generator that I can use in a more populated area than my Onan Homesite 6500, which is used practically every weekend at the farm. The Homesite 6500 has a 13hp/389cc motor and is rated at 5000/5500 watts with advertised amps of 42 amps at 120 volts. Champion's generator with the 389cc/13hp engine is advertised at 6500/7800 watts with no posted amperage output.
I reviewed the Costco offer on the new champion remote start 3000/3500 generator, but was unable to find any posting on the rated amps for this model, either at Costco or CPE.
I am also looking at the CummingsOnan P3027, which also has the 196cc/6.5hp engine. It has a advertised amp rating of 11/22 amps at 240/120 volts. Advertised wattage is 2700 watts.
The champion is definitely cheaper, but I would like to know its rated amps. Makes you wonder if it's not posted because of a conflict with the advertised wattage.
Does anyone know if the champion amps are posted anywhere? The manual says there is a 25amp breaker on the 30amp RV outlet, but I need something more concrete than that.
I can't comment on Onan's service, since my Homesite 6500 has been problem free.
