That was before I listened to the Champ run for 2 hrs a day for a season AND before I found my cheap panels. It's not bad INSIDE the rig but pity the fool that has to put up with it outside.
What was the dB sound spec for that Champ?
I'd like to compare it's spec to the noise level spec of our little Honda EX650 charging generator.
A Champion 3500/4000 is rated for 68db at 21 feet and that's what I get on my cell phone app for all that's worth. The EX650 purrs in comparison but at those altitudes it's closer to a ex400w.
I wanted a small inverter for charging and nearly picked up a Champion 2000 at Sams for $300. Not getting it allowed me to finish the solar and I'll tell you this. Champion is Yellow, Honda is red, silence is golden.
I was surprised to hear your MH on board generator was so close in db to the Champ.
