im looking for a small generator just to charge my batteries while in the campgrounds. (we dont use the a/c or microwave) so im looking at the champion 1200/1500 model. does anyone have info on this model? is it quiet enough (to run during gen time) that it wont be annoying to neighbors? reliability? any other brands comparible in the $200.00 price range?
Thanks!

That model will be too loud and not give out very clean power, its meant for power tools and such, Champion has a 2000w inverter type that is fairly cheap, around 500 bucks. Nice clean power output. I use it for boondocking and charges great and quiet, because of the inverter it can run at low revs on econo mode. The one your looking runs full out all the time.
