The 4500W are on sale too. Got the dual fuel with electric start for $774. Limited-time deal: Champion Power Equipment 200988 4500-Watt Dual Fuel RV Ready Portable Inverter Generator, Electric Start https://a.co/d/4kyPILa
Got the same deal. One thing different is the current deal has a 12v car plug instead of the USB ports that ours come with. This one comes with a usb adapter that you can plug in. I wish I could have gotten this version with the 12v as I have a 12V compressor fridge I could run off of it. The vendor for our Genny still has our version at a cheaper $429 currently.
Last week from blains farm and fleet was 399. They sent me a open box by mistake took aff additional 15% so came out to be 339.15+ tax+ 17$ shipping

You can buy the adapter

A 30 amp RV to 3 prong adapter is $10 at Harbor Freight. I run my small camper off a smaller generator with no issues.

I bought this last season for about this price. It was the cheapest decent one I could find at the time. It's very portable and relatively quiet. I've run it on both fuels.

I'd place it above the Predators and below Hondas, as far as build quality.

Would this be a better deal for $40 less? I know it's 300 watts less and 5 lbs heavier. Is that worth the $40?

Of course it doesnt have a 30amp connector, it's not a 30amp generator lol 30a x 120v is 3600w, get an adapter and watch how much you pull, obviously can't use all 30amps, if you need all 30 then this is the wrong generator

Would trifuel be better?
That gen isn't an inverter style though.

Quote from SkillfulShoe989 :
Good suggestion but I doubt it would.work. The compressor fridge runs at 45 watts so roughly 12v 3.5A. The USB type A ports on the genny is 5vx 2.1A so it produces 12 Watts. I could probably try taking out the usb type A port and replacing with a 12v female adapter but don't want a voided warranty before it is over.

If there's 120VAC outlets couldn't you just run a power strip off one to plug in multiple 12VDC adapters? Some UPSs have 12v batteries internal so you could maybe tap that to add a 12v jack?

I could certainly use the AC adapter that comes with the fridge. Just would have prefered to go dc to dc and not use 1 of the 2 120v outlets. I know i could use a power strip/splitter but I would not have to if the 12v port was available instead of the usb ports.

Couldn't deny at this price ($460) and dual fuel. Yes there are larger generators that could get better bang for buck. But the smaller size of this allows much more flexibility for usage. Could run a fridge/internet/tv/some fans during a power outage while still be portable enough to use tailgating or other outdoor activities since it's only 39 lbs.

Hard to find a quality inverter generator at this size that runs on clean propane at a decent price.

Might be time to rip the Generac out of my Lance truck camper and replace it with this. Just have to make sure it'll fit in the compartment. The generac runs like a top, outputs the spec. DC, but no AC comes out the other side of it's dedicated inverter box. Box is likely the issue but on the rare occasion one shows up on ebay, they're $1000 or more.

Only if you use it.

The benefit to buying from Costco is the essentially unlimited return policy.
