As an update with this generator, I wanted to report a couple of issues.
Luckily, I have the 2 year repair warranty from Camping World. So, they repaired both issues, but they had to take parts off of a new genny sitting on the floor. However, this generator seems to be a case where "you get what you pay for".
That being said, I am in no way unsatisfied with this generator. I have just had some issues that reminded me this is a $900 Champion generator and not a $3000 Honda. The extra $2000 in my pocket makes me feel a little better, though.
- Fold out handle is extremely fragile. Mine broke pretty quickly after purchase. After that, it's pretty difficult to move around. Lesson learned - always pull this thing around by supporting the weight in the center of the fold out handle (ie. don't hold one side of the handle)
- I also broke my pull cord (pull start). It broke with the cord in the extended position.
