Re: new released invertor generater

It takes a Champion 3500/4000 to run our 13.5 A/C up there and even then the converter has to be turned off. Do you have your generator jetted for the altitude? I do know that jetting for altitude won't get you back all the power but it should help it run better and more efficient. I haven't rejetted my generators yet because I don't use them. Champion has a high altitude jet but it's only rated for up to 3000 ft or so the last time I checked. Thanks. 3000 ft only? Wow. To clarify the high altitude jet: It is only approved/rated for use at or above 3000 feet. The 3000 ft. rating is the minimum altitude not the maximum. Using the high altitude jet below 3000 feet will result in a rich mixture with fuel wasting and plug fouling. I hope this helps.459Views0likes0CommentsRe: Hey where are all the A-Framers at?
It's nice to know that it was tolerable in 105 degree heat with no shade. I don't expect to camp in conditions that hot. I was concerned about the cooling capacity since all of the Aliners I'm looking at come with 5000 btu air conditioners. If I was expecting 100 degree temps, I would definitely look for a shady spot. I will also invest in some Reflectix. Thanks480Views0likes0CommentsRe: Hey where are all the A-Framers at?

It was a 105F and humid that particular day, the AC running full blast with windows covered with Reflectix, and needing to add ice cubes inside the fridge to help keep it cool. Hard to imagine now after just going through a period of sub-zero temps. Oh yeah, the cg put us right next to another Aliner who was visiting from NC. Did the 5000 btu AC keep up? Was it reasonably tolerable in 105 degrees? I'm looking at Aliners and wonder about that little AC.480Views0likes0Comments
