Hi All,
(Newbie, to this discussion board), Ron here. Been readin all 500
plus pages over the last few months, been achin to get on here
to post. With all the discussions of Honda 'clones', I've become
rather sold on the Champion brand. I don't have an RV but I do need
one to run a 120v MIG welder in my work, so a full head of
30 amp steam at 120v is what I need. Otherwise, the 3500 is
real nice as it's pretty quiet for what it is... Of course the
bigger engines are louder (15 or so horsepower for the C41365 model),
the one that I have chosen, but it's not as loud as the "Contractor"
models that are north of 76dB.. yikes! Funny, Kragen Auto has the
SKU in their system for it with a price of $974 (ouch!) but they
can't order it for some dumb reason.. so by some dumb luck, I called
Champion tech support one day and got this outfit on the east coast
on the phone, and am working on a much better deal pricewise. We
shall see what it goes for. I'm not saying what I might get it for,
but shootin for about 1/2 to 2/3 of that amount.
