I ran it connected directly to the camper power cord (25' 10g) and it still bogged down. I checked voltage drop on the long run and had 123.x volts on a wall plug in the camper. I used 10, 12, and 14 gauge wires to get to that distance.
...Voltage drop is a function of load. As the load on the circuit increases and decreases, so does the voltage drop....
You are correct about the voltage drop.
I don't see why this discussion is even in this thread about the generator. The issue would have existed with any generator or even any power source. It wasn't the generator's fault.
I don't think you are reading through the post(s). This is to report results back on how the generator runs, not to discuss any issue. I expected the results, just letting others know what to expect. At this altitude there's roughly a 24 percent power loss of the engine.
