Champion 3400 vs 3500 Watt Generator
Does anyone know why Champion has a 3400 and a 3500 watt dual fuel generator? Both are on their website. Camping World has the 3500 and Amazon only has the 3400. They both have the same 192cc engine. ...

is a lot like Randy at Best Converter
they know the product and can tell you the specifics and the differences
and what will work best in your situation
or just help you solve a problem with what you have
example if you have 15k BTU A/C i would recommend the 3400w
but if you have an 11K or even 13k A/C the 3100w will handle it
but a 3400w will give you a little bit more 'breathing space' on those really hot days
also when using LP you loose some power, so a higher power rating provides a few more watts, Lp is nice for home backup, stand by power, because LP does not go bad
but for purchase convenience i like gas, easier to find, and more hours of run time per gal, more energy per gallon
LP is nice and convenient though. One 20# bottle will run twice as long. 30# 50% longer than the 20#. If you have a big 100# bottle (like my "Winter Bottles"), 10 times as long as a fill of gasoline. Only time LPG is a big factor is altitude. You will "feel" the loss of power more with LPG than with Gasoline.
