Also, somewhere in this topic there was a comment that Champion was working on a kit to make the generators a little more quiet . . . any news on that?
In one of the campgrounds we were staying in I saw someone using the smaller Champion Generator. I know it is too small for AC use, but what does anybody know about it as far as noise, weight, and usefulness for non-AC RV use?
CPE reports that the design of the existing 3500 series of generators makes it difficult to achieve significant sound reduction by just adding a few panels. Adding enough sound reflecting/absorbing material adversely affected operating temps to the point Champion put the project "on hold".
There is at least one generator in the family of common size Chinese
built generators that has noise reduction panels in place. I have never seen one but would love the opportunity do get my paw on a unit for disection.

Was your reference to Huacen Power Equipment Model HG3800SE? I was curious and went to their website and found this info' 3.3/3.7 KVA operating noise level 63/7..........I continue to believe we can beat 63/7 with a noise reduction box.
