Is the C46535 still available, and is it a better choice? The Champion website shows it already on wheels, and possibly has better outlets for my expected usage. But I don't see it at partsamerica!
Thanks!

If you have a Checker Auto, Kragen, Schucks or Murray's in your area, they may sell both the 46540 and the 46535. I believe that the above mentioned stores are all part of the same corp.
The 46535 has one duplex 120v outlet on a 20 amp circuit breaker and the other duplex 120v outlet on a 15 amp circuit breaker. This should be fine for you if you were just going to run the 30A/120V outlet on the RV model to a 4 outlet box. Same results, no extra expenses, no extra work.
If you were so inclined, you could also rewire the 46535 windings in parallel and have the full 30amps to both of the duplex plugs in the outlet panel. This would also eliminate the 240V circuit unless you install a 9 pole switch to allow for both voltages. That would be exactly the same as using the 30A RV outlet on the 46540 model and the home-made 4 plug box.
I bought my 46535 at Checker Auto in AZ. They had the 46540 RV model on display and refurbished 46535's in boxes. I bought the refurbished 46535 at a substantially lower price. It only had a 90 day warranty, but I intended to cut the frame up and rewire it, so the warranty didn't matter to me.
