The Champion Power Equipment 201282 5000-Watt RV Ready Portable Generator with CO Shield is the perfect combination of versatility and convenience. A powerful companion for your next camping trip or weekend project, this generator can also provide plenty of backup power for your essentials during an outage. For your RV, you'll enjoy enough power to start and run a 15,000 BTU RV air conditioner. Power up with Champion's reliable recoil start, plus Cold Start Technology ensures a quick start in cold weather. Champion also makes it easy to monitor voltage, frequency and operating hours with Intelligauge. Designed for safety with convenient push-to-reset circuit breakers, a low oil shut-off switch plus an included oil funnel for easy changes, this unit has a 0.5-quart oil capacity (recommended 10W-30). The reliable 224cc single-cylinder OHV Champion engine produces 5000 starting watts and 4000 running watts, and will run for up to 14 hours at 50% load when the 4.7-gallon tank of gasoline is full. With a noise level of 68 dBA from 23 feet, which is about as loud as a vacuum cleaner, this machine can handle most essentials in an outage, plus the Volt Guard built-in surge protector prevents overloads and keeps your equipment safe from spikes in voltage. All the outlets have covers for protection and include a 120V 30A (TT-30R) RV outlet as well as a 120/240V 30A locking outlet (L14-30R) and a 120V 20A household duplex outlet (5-20R). The voltage select switch allows the user to switch between 120V only and 240V only outlet power. Champion's thoughtful packaging and clear directions make setup hassle free. Buy this EPA certified and CARB compliant generator with confidence - Champion Support and our nationwide network of service centers will back up your purchase with a 3-year limited warranty and FREE lifetime technical support. CO Shield technology monitors the accumulation of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas produced by engine exhaust when the generator is running. If CO Shield detects unsafe elevated levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine. CO Shield is not a substitute for an indoor carbon monoxide alarm or for safe operation. DO NOT allow engine exhaust fumes to enter a confined area through windows, doors, vents or other openings. Generators must ALWAYS be used outdoors, far away from occupied buildings with engine exhaust pointed away from people and buildings. Meets the requirements of ANSI/PGMA G300-2018.

Q&As

1 - 10 of 104 Questions

Q: What type warranty

3 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hello, the Champion Generators come with a 3-year limited Manufactures warranty. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service. It does not cover items related to routine maintenance or normal wear and tear. This includes, but is not limited to spark plugs, air filters, oil and fuel filters (if applicable), carburetor cleaning or adjustments, oil changes, and fuel system maintenance. Regular maintenance is the responsibility of the owner and must be performed in accordance with the operator’s manual to maintain warranty eligibility. If you need clarification on whether a specific issue would qualify as a warrantable defect, I recommend referencing the warranty section of your owner’s manual or contacting customer support with the unit’s model and serial number for case-specific guidance. Our support team can be reached at 877-338-0999, support@cpeauto.com, or use our live chat option located on our website. -Thank you

Great features on this unit is the run time.

I bought this generator 6 months ago and never took it out of the box until the large ice storm 1 week ago in North Carolina. I assembled a wheel kit on the unit, put oil and gas and the unit started up very easy. I used the unit for two days while the power was out. I operated my refrigerator, several lights along with gas log fans during the power outage.

Yes, I recommend this product.
