Of course the noise level is no match for the Honda EU or Yamaha models. Of course, NASCAR campsites are rather generator noisy anyway so mine is just one more added to the din They use a Honda Clone engine. I like it and have used it several times at NASCAR races. It comes with the standard 30 amp RV plug so usage is a snap.

I have the Champion 3500 Watt RV model (46514 ) that has a 68db rating that is chained to a rear trailer tongue carrier. The 1800RPM winding configuration allowed them to provide 60Hz. The Onan generators of yesteryear ran at 1800RPM (i.e TJ's current 4K unit). Higher RPMs are contribute to the noise factor. Both of the bigger ones use a belt - pulley arrangement tospin the generator portioon at 3600RPM. If you are going for regular replacement style generator (i.e Onan), then you have to look closely at RPM info. I remember it because I was not only surprised to see an actual RV generator at Northern Tool, but seeing a good brand there like Honda really shocked the heck out of me.lmao! I also happened to see a brand new Honda water cooled RV generator at Northern Tool about a week ago.and it was less than 2 grand, although I can't remember the exact price.

Only complaint was that is way significantly louder than the Onans and Kohlers, but that was the old cheaper model we had. Always started right up and put out steady power, so I'd imagine the newer models to the same. We never had a problem with that Generac, and we used it hard and often. Or maybe Generac stopped making that model.Īnyhow, they have a 4.5 kw Generac on that link above for 2200.00, and a 3.6 kw Generac for around 1800.00 bucks, brand new with warranties.not a bad deal! Notice they don't even give the prices for the Onans on that page and want you to call for pricing.guess they don't want you to have a heart attack! Seems like they don't carry the real inexpensive one we bought for the Ark way back.that one was 4kw, and was only 1200.00 brand new. Generac makes a pretty good and inexpensive generator, available the cheapest I've ever found them from Norwall Power Systems.
