which generator would you recommend?

[djconklin]

I was looking at a Champion B46517 4,000 watt generator. But I was warned off because one guy (I know great sample size) said his "broke within a few hours and could never be fixed properly. I'd never buy a Champion again."

I've heard bad news about Onan, so I'm not sure I'd got that route.

Which model would you buy if you were to buy one today?

>ONAN bad news??? why is that?

A guy I know used to work there. Apparently new management changed a lot of things. He sold his stock as soon as he retired.

>Sold it however for something quieter.

Hmmm, one user noted how quiet his was!

@#40Fan, I was thinking of camping out in Slab City, off-grid, for an extensive period of time ....

Theres nothing wrong with Champion. I have 4 year old 3500/4000 that I used to use with camping but it is now delegated to portable power needs on my equipment/utility trailer. Abuse the******out of that thing and it just keeps on humming along. At ~$300 its a great generator for the money.

Depends on what you are needing it for. Let us know how you plan to camp and where.

I just bought new Champion 7,500 watt, and I like it very well, it had plenty of power for my 50 amp TT.

If you're looking for portable power, you can't go wrong with a Honda. You just need to size it correctly for your load.

Champions are fine.
I had the 3500\4000 worked great when I used it.
Sold it however for something quieter.
