Portable Generator

[Grandview Trailer Sa]

Champion generators make power, but they dont do it quietly....

Yup you can always tell the guy with the Champion in a camping area. He has the 100' cord so he can get it away from his own rig. Get a QUIET gen or get a contractors license. Yamaha Kipor Honda or a few others.

bought this generator to fit the need of dry camping. it starts with ease and provides alot of power to supply my travel trailer. it is really nice that it has a built in rv hook-up. great machine and its not to loud. for the price cant beat it.

Ken, you are not quite correct on you statement that CPI generators are not quiet. I have the CPI 2000 inverter/generator and it is as quiet as any around....

Don,
Send me a link as to what you are talking about. I did not even know that Champion made inverter style generators...(always want to learn something new.) I went to Champion Power Equipments website and they don't show a 2,000. They show a 1,700 and a 1,600. They say a 1,700 has a db of 53. That is the same as a Honda 2,000. IN MY OPINION, the Honda 2,000 is very quiet when at idle... but when it kicks up to really run...it is not quite at all. We camp with several folks who use them and dang those things can make some noise.

But PLEASE park at the other end of the camp ground with the Champion they are noisy.

Like other people said, the noise on a Champion is almost unbearable. Especially those who use them at night, really no consideration for the neighbors. Best to use a GEN during the day and a Power Inverter at night. I use a 5000watt gen during the day, and a 5000 watt Royal Power inverter at night on some 8ds.

I would not say ALL Champions are unbearable.
