The price dropped again for this Dual Fuel Inverter Champion Generator.
Several reviewers report this has (just barely) enough power to run a 13500 BTU RV air conditioner, even on propane.
it was down to $465 a few months ago, but sold out fast.
relatively quiet (53 db), closed frame, light weight (~40 lbs) decent brand, and good features for the price.

Of course, I know Honda is way better, but it costs 4X, and then I'd have to spend $300 more on a propane conversion kit. For very casual use. No thanks...

The Amazon model is 200961. The Walmart model is 200962. Besides the color scheme (yellow vs black), the main difference between them is that model 200961 (yellow) has an automotive 12V 8A outlet, while model 200962 (black) has two integrated 5V 2.1A USB ports. Model 200961 comes with a USB car adapter, though. Lastly, the service panel (left side) is slightly different on the two models. Other than that, they are identical in every way.
I own both models and the parallel kit (model# 100740). They are relatively lightweight (39 lbs), small, and can run off a 20 lbs propane tank for up to 34 hours at 25% load. I plan on only running mine on propane, so I don't have to worry about draining unused gas, storing gas, or gumming up the carburetor.
I recommend replacing the OEM plastic oil dip stick with a magnetic version, especially before breaking in the new motor. This will help collect any metal shavings floating around in the oil. I used this one from WEN, which fits this Champion perfectly:

Any thoughts between the 2?

Same price but different units. Walmart unit is model 200962. Amazon unit is model 200961. They are almost the exact same aside from one minor difference (aside from being able to use WM vs Amzn GC's). the 200962 unit comes with 2 USB ports whereas the 200961 unit comes with a 12V car charge port and includes a 2-USB-port car adapter.

Going to try just one generator, since my AC is only 13500btu.
That's only 2000 watts, and not dual fuel. Wen are comparable to Champion in quality.
