- Under 40 lb, so one person can lift it into a truck bed or carry it to a campsite
- Quiet enough for most campgrounds and tailgates
- Shuts itself off if carbon monoxide builds up
- Can be paired with a second Champion inverter for more power
- Gasoline only, so no propane option for long storage or outages
- No RV outlet, so a camper needs an adapter and will be limited to small loads
- Small tank means refueling every half-day under moderate load
