Thank you both for your responses. Actually the very first time I tried to use the champion to weld was about one month ago and it must have been 80 degrees. I was in a hurry so when I saw the results, I stopped and plugged the welder in the 20A circuit of my garage.
I forgot to mention that yesterday I tried 1/16" as well as 3/32" rods with about the same result. My unit is a Harbor Freight welder Arc 140(??) rated to 70A on 120V and 110A on 240V. Maximum draw 42A. I used it to modify my hitch so I could have a carrier as well as be able to tow if I have to. It came out pretty good considering it was my first welding project.
Most important, my champion runs the A/C on my MH just fine.
Thanks again and keep cool MrWizard... it will be another hot one today!
