	Thanks for posting this tip. I bought the Champion 2000 watt inverter model at the beginning of this year. So far, it hasn't missed a beat. Based on this, I'd say Champions are worth looking at, if one is in the market for a generator.

	Great price for the output. The only thing I would worry about is the small gas tank (1.6 gallons) - if it doesn't have a fuel pump. It is much harder to add an external tank w/o it. My Yamaha EF2400 had a 1.5 gallon tank and it lasted exactly 8 hours running the pod with the A/C and the fan on low. Just a little bigger, like 2 gallons, would have worked much better for overnight stops, giving 12 hours of run time.
