Thank you for the welcome Professor, thank you for all your valuable testing and info you've givin me about these great little machines.
I'm not complaining about these units I'm happy with them.
I have installed the A/C Hard Start Cap with no change, and to have to get on my knees and start pulling fuses each time I want cold air was'nt the answer for me, I beleive it's the altitude at which I run them thats the desiding factor.
My new to me trailer is much better outfitted with the money I saved going with the Champions.
Welcome to the madness. Searching for information on the Champions is what brought me to the RV forums.
As for the altitude, I think you're right. While I've had my old yellow Champion for almost two years now, I've only had the second one to parallel with for a couple months. Even with the two of them I couldn't reliably run my AC last August while camped at Flaming Gorge, nor would either one run the microwave by itself. Below 6k or so I can run the AC if I run both generators, on High of course. I can generally also run the microwave with a single 2000i provided the battery isn’t drawing too much juice. We just got back from a trip out to California, and I was amazed at how much more power I seemed to have in the Humbolt redwood state park which isn’t very much above sea level.
