Cheryl..
At my age, just getting up in the morning is sometimes a task.....
I sold my 2800I for 2 reasons. One. it was 10 years old and I was beginning to distrust the electronics that all inverter genny's have and 2, it was getting too heavy to manage. It was a fine unit, pricey but reliable. I just don't trust electronics to last indefinitely, must be my age....lol
My little Champion, I bought for what I sold the decade old Yamaha for and had money left over so I'm happy. The Champion weighs a whole bunch less, like 30 pounds less and at my age, lifting 30 pounds is a lot of weight difference and it has a smaller footprint, uses less fuel, I can get it in the camper no issue, all pluses for me.
I'm a big hunter too and when I was younger, carrying a 15 pound plus rifle up a mountain was no issue. Today, I carry a magnesium actioned sporter barrelled, carbon fiber stocked rifle that weighs, scope and all at 7.5 pounds and at times, even it's heavy..... I may have to start hiring a lackey to carry my rifle on hunts.
My big 338 Lapua cannon is relegated to the gun cabinet now. Too heavy to lug around.
It's a real pizzer getting old.
