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

Because it costs about $1.00 more in manufacturing costs to add an adjustable needle valve which is added to the initial cost of the genny. Some bean counter somewhere made that decision for you. As I mentioned in my original post, we are dealing with econo genny thinking here. Not top of the line. The econo genny mfgrs know that their customers will probably just buy another one of their (bigger) gennys if the one they currently have doesn't work right. Welcome!!!
