Perfect camping generator powerful and quiet!
After reviewing a number of generators, I chose this one. It runs as quiet as the Honda at half the cost. It has enough power to run my 30 foot travel trailer including the AC (13,500 BTU). With some instruction from Champion's tech's, I was able to connect the generator directly to the trailer's propane system. I have included a short video clip and pictures. I put a 12 foot hose between the regulator and the flow valve. I put a quick connect on the trailer and on the original regulator. This enables me to run the generator on gasoline, propane bottle and the trailer's propane system.The generator is light enough for me to lift it into the bed of my truck and it fits under the tonneau cover! These features make this generator the perfect camping generator. I do not have to carry extra fuel! The trailer's propane system has two 20lb propane bottles. That is enough propane to run for a 3 day weekend in economy mode running only during the campground's generator hours. My wife was very happy that we now can get the large unpowered camp sites most state parks offer without loosing any of the functions of the trailer. This generator is also powerful enough to use as a back-up generator for my house. I have installed a 30 amp RV plug next to the sub panel in my garage. In an extended power outage, I will open the main breaker then be able to safely plug it into the house to back feed power to the furnace some lights and the refrigerator. This is a great addition to my house & camping equipment.
