You don't want an industrial generator ... they are not CARB COMPLAINT to take to
parks or California ... and noisy and no spark arrestor on muffler etc etc ...
This is a Honda knockoff that is what you need so that you and your neighbors in the next
trailer can get some sleep and end up liking each other .. lol
Most RV or parks will shut you down if your generator is too noisy or non Carb compliant ..
it will have a CARB sticker on the gas tank ...
For a few dollars more you can buy the same unit with electric start (has a battery etc on board)
The ones with wheels are a pita to handle and highly visible if in the back
of your truckbed ... use a bicycle or chain to lock your generator to something or
it will disappear ...

So how much noise difference is there with a Black Max running at 75% with a DBA of 70 vs the Champiom with a DBA of 68 at 23' ?
According to the reviews the BlackMax has a spark arresstor because someone says they removed it
I have no plans of ever using a generator in Ca. Heck, my truck may not even meet Ca standards if I tried to register it there.
Why are wheels a "pita" to handle.? My generator is very visable in the back of my truck. without wheels.

Do you work for CNN??
That was 78db not 78%...
The difference is ... the park ranger will not let you stay in the park
due to noise and threat of fire .. all across the nation ...
Keep in mind you are the one that asked and did not know .... now you
are an x-spurt ...

How many watts would I need to run a little weekender package trailer? Fridge, ac, lights is really all I need I guess. I know nothing about generators. Would that Amazon one work for that?

Both of the ones listed will run what you want to run.
