Champion 3100 watt inverter gen question

Has anyone used one of these or know of anyone who has?
Cabelas will have them on sale next week for $799! I was going to get two honda 2000's but at 799 for the champion I am reconsidering.
Will it run a 13,500 btu AC?

    Will an extended run fuel tank work with this generator ?
    It says it will run 8 hours at 25% load. Any idea how long it would run when 13,500 ac is running?

    If you're going to have to pick one or the other up and move it, say from your truck to your trailer, the Hondas weigh 47 lbs each but the Champion weighs 97 lbs. Personally I couldn't pick one up off the ground and put it in my truck.

    I have a 3500/4000 Champion for around the house and it has been flawless.

    New unit to arrive this coming Tuesday.

    Overstock.com was very accommodating; no hassle to return defective unit and shipped next day the replacement generator.

    Patiently waiting for generator.

    The 3100 champion inverter is on my buy list
    I've seen them and heard them in action
