Well, after much research and deliberation, I went with the Champion over the Honda, Yamaha, and Kipor. It came down to price and usage. I figure, I'll only be using a handful of times a year when I NEED AC. And when you need AC, all your doors and windows will be closed along with a noisy AC unit. Further, I'll be mitigating for sound by either constructing a simple enclosure or leaving in the bed of my truck under a canopy. My inlaws have an Onan on their class A and I'm finding this generator to be comparable to that when the sound is attenuated.
I did find that it didn't start on the first pull, it started on the second pull. Every start since then, first pull. I'll be taking it to Perris today to fire up the AC and make sure everything works (expecting 110+ degrees today). I am curious if anyone has taken these units to altitude - I've got a trip to Big Bear (So Cali) planned and would be looking at running AC at 7,000 feet. Curious if it will work that high. Anyone remember the reduction of wattage per 1,000 feet?
