Champion is a Champ

I recently sold my Honda 2000i and purchased a Champion 3500/4000 watt generator. I have been using the latter for the last few days on a trip from South Texas to Florida, mostly parking at Walmart's.

I only run it in the evenings and the parking lots are already so noisy that the Champion is not noticed by others. I do NOT plan to run it in quiet campgrounds.

Bolt it to the truck bed, wire in an 8g cord to a transfer switch and use the key fob to start it from inside the rig. Did you get the remote start model?

You can also make that new cord long enough so the truck can be parked with the hood toward your rig and the back to your neighbors :). Much quieter.

Nice! Quieter for you. To heck with the neighbors....Run it all you want at the Wal Mart lots. I don't "camp" there.

I have had the 3500/4000 Champion, also. I have had it going on 4 years! I have it mounted in the back of my 1 ton Dodge. We boon dock camp all of the time. Watch a movie at night to keep the batteries charged. It charges clean and we use our laptop with no problem. It uses very little gas unless you use the AC. Pretty quiet and uses no oil! Starts on 1st pull. I bought before they came out with a remote! A remote would be good! I am amazed at how good the generator is and being cheap!
