Generator Question 30Amp to 20Amp issue?
I am thinking on buying a Champion 3100 inverter generator. Based on my research it should run my A/C no problem (13,500BTU) The only question I have is about plugging my camper into the genera...

So would you recommend the Honda or Yamaha? I understand they seem to be the "gold" standard, but is the Champion really that bad?
Lots of people seem to use the Champion with no issues.
While I can afford the brand name gennies, I just don't see the need. That being said, if the brand name ones are much more reliable and have better longevity, then maybe I should reconsider what one I will buy.
I can get the Champion for $799, where the Yamaha is $950.
The Champion will run my TT fully, the Yamaha will only do MW, not A/C. I don't really need A/C, but it would be nice to have that option.
Any thoughts?
Based upon reviews and threads here on RV.NET, Champion inverter generators are a cost effective quality generator. I opted for the Yamaha 3000iseb (2800w rated, 3500w surge) which runs my AC. I don't have any reliability or longevity numbers, but I was willing to pay twice as much for the Yamaha. Are red or blue higher quality gensets? IMHO yes they are. Worth the premium price? Maybe not to some.
Whichever type and size you decide to get make sure it will power your needs. The 2000w (max) generators will likely not run the AC.
