Why does my Champion 3500 quit running while under way?
I use my Champ to run a small freezer in the back of my pickup on the way to the farmers market. The drive is 6hrs round trip, no canopy over the bed, oil and gas topped off before each trip. I have to stop anywhere from 1-3 times each direction to restart the generator. why is this happening? I've thought of fuel slosh, oil slosh/low oil shutoff but it doesn't seem to be either of those. Any ideas?

Are you able to tell exactly when it quits running? If you are able to associate the quitting to the motions of the truck (turning left, stopping, bump in the road, etc) then that might help to determine why it is quitting.
If you can't presently tell when it quits, try running an extension cord into the cab with a light plugged into it.
