I am glad you are pleased with your new generator. Some interesting trivia...... After some on-line research I discovered Champion OWNS the Chinese plant where their generators are built. This plant does NOT make generators for other vendors. My reaction to this is that in all likelyhood, this would increase quality control. I have not found any other North American vendor that owns their own manufacturing facility in China.

As an "old motor man" I am sure you know to reduce the run wattage on your generator by about 200 watts for every 5 degrees F above 85 degrees ambient temperature to lessen the chance of getting the core over 195 degrees F. It is a good precaution to take to assure a long life for your unit.

well the genny is in the shade ( not always possible )

the only things drawing from the generator are the A/C unit about 15 amps

and the WFCO conveter and it's in absorbtion mode measureing 13.52 at the battery 4.0 amps

that's less than 50 watts output, with the coresponding low level input, i should be within your figures

it's 103 outside which gives me about 2500 running watts available using your safety figures

if I need the MW, I turn the A/C compressor off for the duration leaving the blower going

OH yeah 60 watts 1/2 amp @ 120, for the laptop
