I'm not sure how much "altitude" you need for testing, but I live in Carson City and our town sits about 5,000 feet. I bought my Champion (Model 46540) about two weeks ago (and it took three pulls to get it going - because I forgot to flip the switch to "ON" - DUH...).
I haven't taken it on a trip yet but I quickly oiled it up and gave it a test run on my travel trailer (which is why I bought it). My A/C is an 11,000 btu unit and it ran without so much as a hiccup. The owner's manual for the A/C called for a minimum of 2500 watts so the 3500 the Champion puts out is more than enough.
I'm sure another 2,000 feet will make little or no difference. Fire it up and love it. ;)
