I just wanted to do a follow up to my original post about the recently purchased Champion 3000/3500 generator.
I couldn't be happier, we have just returned from our second weekend of use and it hasn't skipped a beat. It has exceeded any of the expectations I had prior to and I am just tickled pink.
After reading many upon many of the posts about the noise of the Champion I was somewhat concerned....but not anymore. While yes, i don't argue that it is louder then a Honda/Yammy in eco mode, i do find little difference when they rev'd up ie running the AC
I won't get into that now, i posted recent experiences with the neighbors here:

Only once did I start to feel the buyers remorse starting to creep up when a couple we camp with pulled out their Honeywell 2000 and it started the AC on their 19 ft ultra light. It wasn't long (actually one temp cycle on the AC) that I was reminded why I picked the Champion. Their Honeywell couldn't go past one temp cycle, as soon as the compressor came around and turned back on they got nothing but an OVERLOAD light and a violently shaking little red box. (I have no idea what size their AC unit is) It also revs up rather loud.
One thing that did catch my eye was a fellow camper that had tacked 4" nails to a metal plate and secured the plate to sound panels. He just stuck them in the ground on 4 sides of his generator...very large 5000 Watt unit. Seems like a smart, lightwieght solution for some minimal noise reduction
