Thoughts on Champion Generator (not Yamaha or Honda)

[sgrizzle]

I would like your opinion on the Champion 3500W (4000 peak) generator that Cabela's has on-line. I believe it is around $450.00. I am not willing to spend $1300.00 on a Honda or Yamaha 1100W generator and I know "they are the best and quietest."

What I want to know, from experienced RVers, would the Champion be a decent value of reliability, power and "not incredibly loud" option.

One more note...I agree that as long as you follow the CG rules for generators, use of your generator is acceptable.

Thanks for your input.

A guy I hunt with has one and uses a CPAP machine at night. He sets it up the length of a 100' extension cord away from his popup and it doesn't bother any of the rest of us at night. I've also seen another friend build a pin together box to reflect sound away from camp for his generator and it works good also.

We have the 3500/4000 watt Champion and really like it. 🙂 🙂

If you haven't come across this already here is the thread that is pretty much dedicated to the Champion Here

We built our house 8 years ago with a Champion generator and it is still running great today.

My cousin has one and likes it. He always sets it up away from the main site. I have other Champion products that I've owned over the last 5-6 years. Just like anything else, they need to be maintained well. It is louder than an RV type unit, no getting around that, but if you are considerate to other campers I think it will be fine.
