Getting ready for a trip out tomorrow to Lake Lanier, and as I was outside this evening checking and toting stuff out, it dawned on me that I could have it cooler in the trailer if I brought the Champion out and fired it up, and being I had yet to actually hook it up to the camper, this was a good opportunity to do so.
It is mounted on a furniture dolly, so it didn't take much to get it out of the garage and down the hill to the trailer. Fired it up, let it run for about 5 minutes, then plugged in the trailer. Let it run another 5 minutes or so, then put the fan on, and a minute later the air conditioner- I could hear the generator get loaded then it ramped right back up to speed and settled steady- let it run for about an hour with the air conditioner on (a 15k), it worked just fine.
The first time I fired it up (right after purchase a few weeks ago), it was on the side of the house, the generator seemed pretty loud then, but today, it seemed a lot quieter. Probably the sound bouncing off the fence and brick wall made it seem louder. Today, I realized just how quiet it really is. The neighbors across the street started mowing their grass, one first, then the other. Each of their lawn mowers was significantly louder than the generator, and they were farther away. One was a riding mower, the other a push type.
Anyhow, I'm a happy camper.
