Doom and gloom..
Just got back from a month in Florida escaping the winter weather that wasn't so bad at home.. Dry camped for the first time in an RV park setting (vs a truck stop). I was the only Champion 3500/4000 in a sea of red and blue..
Cheese & Crackers! was our Champion ever loud! No practical way to quiet it down so I guess I'll be shopping for a super quiet before I go back..
From across the campground you can hear the Champion's mechanical noise.
Maybe draining the Mobile-1 and use 30w for starters.. Will quiet it down a little..
Joe,
did anyone complain?
I know you did a lot of engineering to make the front mount for the Champion. While it is a great location and saves you space, it also gets the genny up in the air and allows its noise to travel easier than a bed or ground mount. You are open on all sides with no dirt underneath to act as a sound absorber. I would imaging the front cap of the fiver might act as a sound reflector.
Rather than give up on all your hard work I would suggest brainstorming how you can set up some portable sound baffles around the genny. It doesn't take much - even some cardboard panels or a wire rack to hang some old carpet on can do a lot to lower the mechanical noise!
Changing oil isn't going to reduce the noise.
Don't give up.
