I would like your opinion on the Champion 3500W (4000 peak) generator that Cabela's has on-line. I believe it is around $450.00. I am not willing to spend $1300.00 on a Honda or Yamaha 1100W generator and I know "they are the best and quietest."
What I want to know, from experienced RVers, would the Champion be a decent value of reliability, power and "not incredibly loud" option.
One more note...I agree that as long as you follow the CG rules for generators, use of your generator is acceptable.
Thanks for your input.
Camping world has them for about 370.clicky From what Ive read doing research on the same genny, they are not that much louder than a honda or yamaha when comparing the same style of genny and measuring actual decibels.
I cant think of where I read it. if i find it I will post.
At full throttle the Champion is louder than a Honda or Yamaha inverter/generator, At 50% load, there is quite a difference. And if like most conventional generators, full throttle at 3600 RPM is the only "run" speed there is...............At full output (3600 RPM), a Honda EU3000I is rated 58db, the 3500w Champion is rated at 68db.
