The Official unofficial CPE 2000i Generator Thread

Guys, little be it for me to suggest how things work here, but I'd sure like to see this thread get back on the topic of the Champion 2000 inverter. It seems it's drifted off on several tangents (Converters, and competing models, amongst other things) and I keep coming back to read the responses after getting the email alert...only to find out that the content has little to nothing to do with the Champ.
