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.

GREAT BUY! Easy to start and AMAZING Performance

21 days ago
I bought this at the end of 2024. I (44F) had a hard time starting our old generator, but when it finally required too many repairs and became unreliable, we searched for a reasonably priced generator to meet our needs. We live in a rural area and our power goes out a couple of times a year, so having a generator for light, refrigerator, fans/heaters, etc, is a blessing. Recently (June 2025), we had a slew of bad storms and lost power often. I was home alone with my young daughter when I needed to pull the generator out of the box for the first time. It was easy for me to set up by myself. It came with clear instructions, and I was able to refer to the manual for any other questions I had. Once it was time to start it, I was able to power it up without any issue. My FAVORITE PART, this generator was able to run ALL of the appliances/electrical requirements that I needed without refilling it for about 8 hours! Our old generator required refilling every 4-6 hours to run the same appliances, meaning I would have to get up in the middle of the night to refill with gas. I was able to sleep all night and not worry about having to wake up and refill with gas. This was a GREAT BUY!

Yes, I recommend this product.

I don’t suggest a 4000/5000 watt generator champio

22 days ago
My generator had low hours, but shortly after the warranty expired the generator stopped producing electricity. The engine runs fine, but doesn’t help if it doesn’t produce electricity.

No, I do not recommend this product.
