Before I plugged my small 120V Hobart Handler welder into the Champ, I pulled the control panel to tap the 30A RV plug. I noticed that the 120v single receptacle was already tapped directly off the RV receptacle so I left it as-is and buttoned it up. The first image depicts plug voltage (125Vac) under load (welder set to max). The Champ immediately accepted the load without much undue strain. I have little doubt the Champ will easily accommodate an additional 200-300W simultaneously. Although I'd prefer to verify winding temps before continuous run times are attempted.

For you welders - I'm right handed, but was stirring the stinger with my left... while watching the Fluke through the camera with my right. Sample was 1/4" thick mild steel

I'm currently running the Champ w/800w resistive load. After an hour or two, I'll perform a compression check to establish the compression pressure differences after the modifications.
