Champion's generator with the 389cc/13hp engine is advertised at 6500/7800 watts with no posted amperage output.
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.
you can divide the wattage by the voltage to get the amperage. Thus, 3,500 watts / 120 VAC = 29 amps.
But, as you noted, the circuit breaker for the RV outlet is 25 amps and the breaker for the duplex outlet is 20 amps. Those will be your limiting factors. The generator will provide the full amperage of the breakers.
