This Bad Boy: Champion 4500W Dual Fuel! amzn.to/3DhREMt

[@rinkywink]

Hi sir, I am from Upwork and I am a thumbnail designer. I have messaged you on Instagram

[@rinkywink]

Hi sir, If you are interested in my proposal then let's talk 😊

[@billjohnson5023]

I bought a 4650 watt champion inverter generator for my 50 amp big fifth wheel do I need a surge protector I’m hoping it will run one air conditioner atleast and the other stuff in the camper is that possible

[@geatsbeowulf1539]

I've run this generator and it locked up with low hrs, I don't recommend. Compared to my Generac and Cummins.

[@JupiterMoJo]

I can vouch for this generator. Building a house and living in rv on-site. Over 1600 hours continuous 24x7 use... oil changes every weekend. Finally have temp power, but this unit was a life saver beforehand. 👍

[@Erin-Thor]

A. How many hours between oil changes. And do you run it with gas or propane?

[@JupiterMoJo]

About every 100 hours... which for us was every Saturday for 4 months like clockwork.

[@JupiterMoJo]

Did a mix of both propane and gas, but mainly non ethanol fuel for the extra wattage output.

[@Thedark.knight007]

Do you think you could run an tv on this solely for an entire year?

[@whosnext2005]

​@@JupiterMoJois the propane or gas more efficient aka less expensive to run? Also how many hours do you get to a tank of gas?

[@rogerholland98]

I love all those warning stickers. Soooo funny! You guys crack me up!

Loved the extra stickers, that was funnny....I'm kinda new to your channel but you two are in my top favorite RV youtubers to watch.

Aw, thanks Steven!

Hubby and I can't love 💕 this video enough!!!! First, thank you for your honesty and humor. Second thank you for addressing real life issues that are on our minds.

[@haroldbruce3790]

Dude, you are a beast! 100lb dead lift, impressive. Great video, complete info with dashes of humor to spice up the subject, the added stickers was creative, along with the "generator doctor" making a house call! Well done.

[@nathan_livingourjourney365]

Really good vlog on the Champion Gennies. Loved the "additional" stickers my favorite is don't pee in tank, and don't set yourself on fire LOL. You two are awesome, safe travels.

OMG....Loved the video. Took us awhile to watch because we had to pause the video to read all the warning stickers. Thank you for making my evening.

I have one of these and really like it. I have not put a drop of gasoline in it and will not.

[@Hundert1]

Why not? Would the gasoline damage it? Thank you

[@davidbottles3035]

@@Hundert1 short answer yes. Gasoline with will not store long without stabilizer. The little jets in the carburetor clog up and may not clean requiring a new carburetor.

[@Hundert1]

@@davidbottles3035 Then you'll be stuck using only the propane for sure. Thank you

[@davidbottles3035]

@@Hundert1 I travel with 100 pounds of propane in the 5th wheel. So it is my fuel of choice.

[@Hundert1]

@@davidbottles3035 OK, then what's the point of getting a dual fuel generator? I'm guessing in a rare emergency you might consider using the gasoline.

[@bcgrittner8076]

Yeah…These alcohol blend gasolines can be troublesome. I forgot to run the carburetor dry on my generator years ago. The alcohol in the gas turned all the rubber carburetor parts to mush. I had to have the carb rebuilt. The mechanic added a fuel shutoff valve and strongly cautioned me about alcohol blend fuel. I pay extra for alcohol-free gasoline, but it’s worth it.

[@jeffarthur322]

First I thought oh no he’s back to hocking stuff. But then I saw the stickers! Quite funny but yet informative. There’s a trick I learned about pull/kick starting . First gently pull /kick* about 1/3 -1/2 of the way feeling the compression. You want to stop so the cord is completely in but you are where the compression is the hardest to pull , this may take several soft pulls to find that right spot. Now you can give it a good pull . This insures your getting maximum revolutions. * kick is for motorcycle-/ scooter only ; ) We enjoyed video!

[@andrewfidel2220]

When I found out that the Championship 2500 dual fuel would start and run a 15k AC on propane my interest in these 100 pound 30A generators went WAY down.

[@Stepuptothat]

Do ya have a soft start on your ac ?

[@LongLongHoneymoon]

I think a soft start would be pretty much a requirement to run that size air conditioner with a 2500 W unit

[@susanrichards7358]

Softstart has a new voltage regulator/softsrart combo plug that can handle softstarting two 13500 watt air conditioners. No need to install softsart directly to your aircondioner.

[@StephSH]

I need some of those warning stickers! LOL

[@Erin-Thor]

Whomever wrote them definitely has a sense of humor, LOL! “Do not lick dipstick.” “Do not stroke knob.” “In case of emergency 🆘 RUN!” That’s hilarious! 🤣

[@CountryBoyMoto]

I bought this unit last fall and I’m very impressed

[@michaelfusco7446]

Recently purchased this generator and looking forward to using it this season and hopefully many more to follow. Just downsized from a dually and a fifth wheel to a Jeep and a Casita so this should fulfill all of our needs. Big big big shout out to Sean and Kristy for all of your videos! Always top quality and makes us feel like you have been a part of our journey as well.

[@donbrloks3959]

I’ve had 2 Champions and their customer service has been excellent. Wouldn’t have anything else just for that.

[@albertmcwilliams6505]

I love your show. I was watching out for deals on bluetti last year. On your recommendation I bought one on last black Friday. It's been useful in running remote job sites where I use my car as a mobile office.

[@jackmason7518]

Good Morning. 4500W units is very heavy. That why I got the 2400W unit and it runs my AC unit and I have a second one just in case I need it. Yes they are dual fuel. Jack

[@Hundert1]

Smart idea 💡 Having two smaller ones has benefits. If one goes down for some reason y'all got a back up. Plus, easier to move around. I think smaller ones are also quieter. If only one smaller one is running at a time that is. Enjoy

[@KU9L]

I grounded our Champion 3400 Dual Fuel generator last summer because we were located at 9,200' ASL in a high lightning area which was also grounded to our 25' Weboost pole with lightning arrester. I would shut down the Weboost during thunderstorms, but did not have any lightning issues once I finally got the copper-coated steel rod pounded down through the rocky terrain & soaking some saltwater in the immediate area around it.

[@citizencane3492]

The “Warning Sticker” are hilarious! Good job. LOLOHO!

[@tomsparksphotography1385]

Love mine. And, it does fit under the tonneau cover of my F-150.

[@davidgroves8049]

I believe you could just make a ton of money making the stickers and selling sticker packs! I like the generator but still like the westinghouse better due to the remote start.

[@VernonWallace]

Love all of those stickers.

[@snookrookie]

Hello. 4 years ago I took your advice and bought the dual fuel generator. I only run it on propane. It still runs great. Lots of boondocking. It will need a new battery soon. But that is ok.

[@modavaux]

Love the extra notices. No snarkiness in this video. :-)

[@besttodayever1916]

Very funny and informative video., probably triggered some commyfornia folks. I bought a champion generator years before the dual fuel option. Still starts first pull. Has the 30amp Rv plug and runs my ac. Great buy back in the day for $279.

[@trekingusa104]

I have this same model and loving it. So far I'm still less then 100 hours. I do run it once a month for 15 minutes just to make sure it all good. I only run it on Propane. However mine did not come with all the warning stickers. LOL

[@ksyrahsyrah4983]

IT’S SO QUIET! We own a square-drop, and have Midwestern weather-related power outages, so this will have double duty functionality for home and camping. HOWEVER, after the unboxing, we powered it up, on PROPANO, and stood right next to it in normal conversation mode! We then fired up the 13.5k btu A/C and (😇 Ahhhhhhh…..!) it was still super quiet! Ran it on Eco, too! Your reviews convinced me that dual fuel was an awesome option, and Prime Day sealed the deal! It takes the two of us to lift it into the bed of the truck, but I can move it with the wheels all by myself (60 plus, out of shape, lady person). You two have improved our camping experiences so much; from the wrought iron twig hooks, to the Bad Boy generator! Thanks once again!,🤙

[@josephperini6350]

The stickers and warnings are over the top. I especially like the Do not lick the dipstick.

[@michaelparish2435]

I'm going to order a Champion just to get all those cool "warning stickers". LOL Great video. Thanks for the info

[@RamblinRoadies]

I didn't see any warning stickers that I would consider expendable. Leave them all on for the children. That being said, I'm in California, and I think you offended me. If I could reach, I'd slap you. Would love to have a nice craft beer with you Sean. 🍻

[@ShawnPatterson402]

great review. Only problem is "there is no replacement for displacement". At my age if I start trying to sling around a 100#+ generator, I am quite concerned that the displacement might be the discs in my spine....?

[@1buzzard67]

Here is my video on this awesome inverter. I ran it for the 5 hour break-in period on propane, put about a 50% and less load on it, changed the oil, and stored it in the garage. The battery is in a trickle charge, ready to go when needed. I used about 2 pounds of propane in those five hours.

[@matzpimp]

I don't know about anybody else but I always use the surge protector on the generator when I run it to the camper just to be safe.

[@Dr.SalvatoreVinciguerra]

Excellent update to the Champion line of generators.I wish they made a remote start with this generator. I'd like to see you guys review some of the Bluetti products like their power station and put it under some electrical load to see what it does. Also, Curt came out with a new wireless brake controller that looks like a nice product to review. There still are not enough videos in the categories of towing and electrical power for RV's out there. Thanks for your amazing review and have a fantastic day!

[@georgeosborne3585]

Check out Westinghouse 3800. Remote start and auto choke

I just purchased the 4650 at 103lb. and it has keyfob remote start. 👍

[@larryandbarbi6561]

Sean: As always your videos are informative and fun! I purchased this same Champion generator a few months back when we moved from our small motorhome to our new travel trailer. I included your past reviews of Champion products as part of my assessment of this unit. The features and performance of this generator have been everything I wanted to power the Imagine when we are off grid camping. I second all your positive features and comments. This generator is perfect for our needs. While it does take both of us to move it from the truck bed to the ground, the handles are so well designed it is not a big chore. With regard to your inability to get it under your truck tonneau cover, we have not had that difficulty. We have a different type of tonneau cover and it fits just fine. I think because yours is a sliding type cover it rides just a little lower on the bed than ours does. Again, another great video and we hope you'll be headed out west again this year and that we get another chance to see you at a meet up. Great video and safe travels, LarryAndBarbi!

[@LongLongHoneymoon]

Thanks Larry & Barb, hopefully we will get together again this year. Very cool that you own this unit also! I am very impressed with it. The extra power is welcome as is the dual fuel feature. We may end up bringing it but first we need to find a solution to the tonneau cover issue... Safe travels! Sean

[@hipshot823]

I have owned the 3100 with remote start since I seen your review. It is very easy to pull start if you so choose. However I'm lazy and just use the button on the remote. Thanks for the review

[@nathanielhale8424]

I like everything about Champion generators. I am thinking of switching to a portable rechargeable battery bank back up. With gas and propane cost going through the roof seems like a reasonable back up . Thank you for another great video

[@LongLongHoneymoon]

I will be reviewing a really nice setup soon. They are pretty expensive if you want a large capacity unit, but overall I think they are great. I'm really excited about the upcoming review because this unit is the nicest I've ever owned.

[@Bwanar1]

You can convert a standard gas generator to Propane with a kit for less than $100, in most cases, and avoid the almost doubling (although convenient) price increase. Although with propane, the generator is around 25% less efficient, than with gas. Maybe with the fuel increases the price per hour will close the gap?

[@somedayistodayrv]

Another great video! I love my Champion dual fuel inverter generator, one of the best for sure. Running on propane just makes so much sense instead of gasoline but it is good to have a back up fuel source. I do recommend it as you do. Take care and safe travels, all. Dave

[@dogzdad123]

Sean, 1) As a Californian, I guess we’re all nuts! 2) Kristy may be challenged by manually starting that beast, but I wouldn’t want her to be on her bad side. 3) And lastly, where did you get those outrageous stickers for the genny? PS: I purchased a Champion 3400 Dual Fuel. Best purchase ever!

I really like the 3400 champion dual fuel, it’s the one I use. It’s lighter then that big bad boy, fits under tonneau and uses less fuel and slightly quieter. It also easily powered my 13.5 AC, converter, microwave. I always turn the water heater onto propane just to save the potential aggravation of overload. My choice of the three you have there is 3400:). But if I had the big boy I would leave it at the house for power outages or disasters. Love your product reviews.

[@Desertfox92308]

Now I will have to go out and measure the tonneau cover on my Tundra! Hopefully it fits, if not the 3400 looks good too.

[@davelauraphillips8814]

So, i (Dave) think that Kristy has trouble starting the generator simply because her arms are shorter and she cannot get enough leverage to pull the cord quickly enough. We bought a Champion 2500 for home backup now (and maybe RV later) last year based in part on your reviews. New out of the box it started on first or second pull (propane only - plan to never use gas). So far have not needed it, but happy it is ready if needed.

Another first on KZbin!! Man gives up remote for "EZ Start". I got the 4500 watt gas model with the remote. Propane is kind of like diesel, you can't always get it. I also have a larger 240 volt dual fuel generator for emergency use at home.

[@andrewfidel2220]

Propane is by far the easiest fuel to get, dispensing it requires no electricity, it doesn't get contaminated by storm surge, it's not used by people trying to evacuate, and as pointed out it stores indefinitely so you can easily have a stockpile at home. As far as places to get it, nearly every gas station, grocery store and convenience store has propane exchanges. Blue Rhino has over 50,000 locations and Amerigas has over 54,000. That's more than 3x the number of locations that Subway, McDonalds, Burger King, and Wendy's have combined or just slightly fewer than the 115k gas stations in the US.

[@screddot7074]

@@andrewfidel2220 I guess you live in a different world. I use it at home because I can control the supply. I don't use it on the road because I do not find the supply as reliable as you. Every refill I have seen requires electricity to use the pump. I don't like carrying gasoline, but I burned a house down because a regulator failed on a gas grill.
