You can't always use numbers. Sometimes there will be a bad run of product and it can sku the numbers based on one bad batch. Randall and myself have both taken the liberty of trying to fix our gennys with parts from Champion. We are both handy and it sometimes is just as easy to do it yourself. Just to make sure everyone know they are not all bad and only may be some of them. I have a 4K Champion as well and so does my FIL and they are both awesome gennys and neither of us has had an issue in 4 years. Make sure you have all the numbers before coming to conclusions not just a few.
May the question be asked, what parts were supplied by Champion for the Champion 2000i that may have brought the Inverter genset up to advertised standards? Many of us are still on the fence as to what to buy in an Inverter generator. At this time, it seems, the Champion 2000i will not be the ideal RV genset. Even in pairs, many problems of proper sync are reported and the sustained output of more than 3 hours is also in question. As to parts, the question remains, are all parts on hand including the modules at Champion CPE CS. And how long would they stock parts after a new unit might hit the market? Questions, questions, questions.
Get a Yamaha 2400i, I think it is 75 lbs around $1100.00 and only 1 motor to maintain. These units are very reliable and run about 9 hrs on a tank of gas. They also start a 13500 ac at all altitudes and temperatures, so if its hot out you still have ac and will run until it is out of gas. I have a 1200 champion with low hrs and had to pull the black and yellow wires out to get it started last time I used it, oil is full. The Champs are nice project generators if you like to tinker.
