And everything costs more in Alaska, right? *LOL* The Costco website lists the parallel kit but not the genny. The Sams site doesn't show price or availability.Re: The Official unofficial CPE 2000i Generator ThreadAfter being a Champion owner for 3 (or is it 4?) years, and spending most of last night reading this thread, I'm ready to take the plunge on the 2000i. Several searches on Google and checks of the sites of common discounted price outlets for this genny (sam's, Costco, ect) show it out of stock almost everywhere. I've only found it listed for sale at $599 or higher (home depot-$817 !). Anyone know of any good deals currently available? I've got until June before I "need" it but I WANT it! *LOL*Re: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info. professor95 wrote: If over voltage is a concern, spend the $39.95 for a KILLAVOLT and use the surge protectors as a second line of defense. So the Killavolt monitors the voltage the genny is producing and if it senses an overvoltage condition it shuts the genny off. But I think I remember reading in this thread oh, about a couple of hundred pages ago:D , that you shouldn't shut the genny down with a load on it because that causes an overvoltage (iirc because of the field collapsing?) that could damage equipment hooked up to the genny. Am I remembering this wrong, or do we have a catch 22 here since the Killawatt doesn't shed the load but rather just shuts the genny down?
