Running a New Champion 4000 Watt Dual Fuel Generator from the LP Port
Thanks to everyone who shared their opinions on which generator to buy.
I decided to go with the Champion 4000 Dual Fuel generator. It’s lightweight, has enough starting watts to power my single 30-amp A/C unit without a "soft start," and runs on propane.
The only downside is that it doesn’t have electric start, so I’m hoping the traditional rope-pull version will work out okay with my elbows.
I’d like to run it off my trailer’s LP port, which I believe is a 1/4-inch quick connect. I think the Champion’s port is also 1/4 inch, but I’m going to call tomorrow to confirm. If anyone already knows, please let me know!
I therefore think I need to buy a double-ended 1/4-inch quick-connect propane hose. I searched online but didn’t find one right away. Maybe I’ll need to have one custom-made.
If anyone has used this setup, I’d appreciate any tips or pointers for the correct/best hose or starting up the generator on propane.
I noticed from product reviews that some people seem to have a hard time starting this model when using propane.
Thank you!
