It's the same as the champion 3500 weekender it was on sale for $300 just has some green paint and the cabelas name on it. I picked that one because of the great reviews of the champion but figured with the word cabelas on it if something not covered by warranty it would be more likely cabelas would take care of me.
I do plan to use this trailer throughout the summer for search & rescue, spring bear season and maybe a couple family outings. So as long as I was buying a generator I figured I should get one that will run it all if needed. Thanks for the help everyone
If I may make a suggestion. I have the Champion version of the 3500/4000. The Cabelas version you ordered is a 240v/120v version and the newer 120v only versions have a much cleaner output than the older version. So if you can switch, it may do better for you.
Other than that, the 3500/4000 will do you well. it has the power to run our AC at altitude which the other options listed here just can't. Sound wise I'm told it is compatible to two 2000w inverter units in parallel running a AC. We picked up the remote start version on sale for $425 and it sure is nice not having to go out and fire it up and plug in every time. They do make a sound tent for them that will knock some of the noise off but I never got one since we don't camp around others.

Costco has the Champion 3100 on sale for $699. It's black, but it has the same running gear as the yellow one sold on Amazon for $769. I called Champion last night and they said that it is a newer model. Many reviews say that it will run a 15000 btu AC.

You will need at minimum 3000/4000 watt generator, but the best way to accomplish this is with 2-2000 watt genny's that are connected together.
This will give you the option of using just one or both as needed, & makes it easy to move around. They are about 45# each.
In consideration of cost, I recommend Champion. They are a very good product, dependable, great customer service, & parts are easy to find.
Start your search HERE. They offer 2- 2000 watt each with parallel kit & two covers "refurbs" as low as $819, free shipping.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "cleaner output"?

I have the champion 3100 I bought it at Lowes for 845.00 They advertise it in the online cat. The sales person had to look it up and order it Lowes shipped to my home. As a Veteran I use my Vet ID to get and additional 10% off. The champion 3100 is quiet and for light use has a quiet mode. It also had a 30 plug in and a battery charge circuit. I think it is a nice unit for the price.
Yes it will run a 15,000 btu ac no problem. It will switch to the regular mode as opposed to the quiet feature. I thought about the 2 4000 watt but decided to go with the 3100. I live in a climate where the AC is needed but not as much as the south or south west. Really im most cases I could get by with no Gen.
Does the Champion 3100 let you run the AC without straining?
I am debating whether to get two 2000 watt generators or one 3k.
