Just curious, are you affiliated with CPE?
No. But, I have become a good friend with the Senior Technical Engineer at CPE and he is kind enough to occasionally share with me what is going on at CPE so that "information" (meaning NOT advertising) may be shared on this thread. According to the info he has passed to me Costco has signed on to sell the new ES/RC unit. Thus, it should continue to be available. Do not know if it will make it to the floor of the stores or not. CPE is also working with other companies that carry their products to add the new unit to their sales inventory. Hopefully for interested RV generator buyers, this will be successful. I bought one of the new models and personally believe it to be the best featured and designed Chinese genny in the 3,000 watt class to date. I am not in any way affiliated with CPE. My cheer leading for them is no different than my attachment to Cedar Creek, GMC and Volvo trucks and the Redskins.
I have also been told that CPE will begin distribution of their first digital/inverter generator sometime toward the end of August. It is a 2,000 watt model. A 1,000 watt inverter manufactured by Kipor and displaying a Champion label will be distributed in Canada only. I do not as of yet have a list of outlets where either one can be purchased.
Bill, I started this thread 5-1/2 years ago and along the way became intrigued with the entire Chinese manufacturing and exporting methodology. It is truly fascinating. There is obviously a lot more to it that just generators - but it is so complex that studying anything else is mind boggling. All I want to do here is help those that want my help and provide information that I collect regarding what is going on in the industry.
BTW - welcome to the thread!
