Generators used in high altitudes
Does anyone know if the Champion Inverter generators will run in the Canadian Rockies and Alaska? Will be there this summer and will need ti use a generator at times. Thanks

Friend purchased a Freightliner 3-axle, Detroit 400 HP engine, 13 speed road ranger. Loaded a 40' trailer, and outfitted the sleeper like a luxury suite. Pulled a three axle 40' fifth wheel loaded with way too much unneeded junk over Donner Summit I-80, in 10th and 11th gear, needed to back out of the throttle to maintain 60 mph.
I filled the tanks in Santa Rosa Ca. and again at Sierra Skids, truck stop in Sparks Nevada. I couldn't believe it - 18.1 mpg. This is where we parted. He continued to Yellowstone with Sharon, and I drove an F550 attached to a 38' 5th wheel to El Paso Texas for $1,000. This occurred back in 2000. The F550 got 13.3 mph and was a hell of a lot lighter gross weight.
Go figure...
