just bought one of theses champions this past week when my duropower after 2.5 years of hard use went out.(motor is fine just doesnt put out voltage might be a minor fix)
I was on vacation and needed a gen for trailer to charge batts during the day and to run the a/c so that my daughter can take a nap for a couple of hours in 95 degree heat.We were at lake powell there was a checkers in page that i knew of so we went there and came back with a new gen and it was the best option at the time.oiled it up and started it fired right up let it run with no load for a while.I did notice it is a little louder than my duropower but not by much.It ran the a/c fine but couldnt do the battery charger in med or hi(big garage type one while the air was running or do the micro with the a/c running.Could be cause the heat and altitude(3610) mid to upper 90s.I had no prob with the 3500 peak duropower running both turn the a/c to low then run either micro or batt charger.
But for being able to find one easily was a bonus esp already with a 30 amp plug in it going to try the silicone on the fan thing too.Just hope it will get me at least a couple of years 2 weeks i will be useing it in the desert for the weekend runnin the a/c and it will be running constantly over the weekend til then i might be a little nervous since that will be its torture test for me

After one month of use with the Champion, what are your thought of comparing the Duropower vs the Champion. Also how is the silicon treatment to the fan working out?
