Using gasoline, the 149cc Champion engine produces 4000 starting watts and 3000 running watts. When the 1.54-gallon tank of gasoline is full, this inverter will run up to 10 hours at 25% load. Connect this Parallel Ready inverter with another Champion 4000-watt inverter for 30 amps of power. If you purchase the optional parallel kit (not included), you can integrate two inverters, plus the kit has a 120V 30A locking and 120V 50A RV outlet.

CO Shield technology monitors the accumulation of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas produced by engine exhaust when the generator is running.

Title: Smaller better and lighter
Review: I bought a larger Champion generator a few years ago, I love it, it gave me perfect service. So when I found out they made a smaller, lighter, and equally powerful inverter generator, I had to get one. I was satisfied, it is lighter, quieter, and works awesome. Highly recommend this product and this wonderful Champion Power Equipment Company.

Title: Compact, Small size, ease of use makes this a great option
Review: We live aboard a 41' sailboat and needed this for 2 reasons: When Marina power goes out it's our backup for A/C and refrigeration. At 49lbs its easy to transport and set up. Once set up it started on the first pull and ran smoothly. Sound level was a concern but vibration through the boat could have also been an issue. Sound was at 63 decibels and the vibration was minimal.We would buy this unit again.

Title: Nice
Review: This thing is great. Light weight, compact and quiet. It replaced an older Champion 3500 watt generator I used for my camper. The side panel comes off easily for service which is a great design. Very happy with this purchase.

Title: Great generator for the price and size
Review: This generator is amazing for the wattage output and the size. I added a comparison to my Yamaha 2000w and they weigh about the same. Added oil and gas, started on first pull. Let it idle with a light load on it for about an hour. Then I turned off the Eco mode and hooked it to my travel trailer and turned on the AC and it ran on high without issues. As long as it holds up I feel this little generator is going to get some love from RV folks.

Title: Exactly as shown-good backup for outages
Review: Very quiet & lightweight. The only thing we had a problem with is we have an older camp trailer so had to order a power extension that was 3 prong on both ends. But that the only drawback.

Title: Super QUIET and love the power!
Review: We have a Champion 4500 inverter, but it's getting harder to get it into and out of the 5th wheel basement these days, so getting these Champion 4000 that can be paralleled for 8000w of surge and 6000w of continuous power is awesome. Weighing 1/2 as much as the 4500, these are much easier to handle when we boon dock in addition to being to run all 3 of our ACs (we have soft starts on all three). The best new feature on these is the addition of a fuel gauge! Usually on a generator this size, you don't see that. Comes in handy for those overnights at Wally World 😉

Title: Powerful yet compact
Review: This generator has ample power but does lack a large fuel tank so be prepared to fill often if loading over 25%
