Which is better for RV camping?

The WEN. It is 105 lb lighter, runs at 58 dBA and has a built-in TT-30R outlet. The Champion's 240V output and weight suit home backup more than campsites.

Can the WEN run a 15,000 BTU RV air conditioner?

Usually not on its own. A 15,000 BTU unit needs roughly 3,000 to 3,500 running watts plus a surge of two to three times that, which exceeds the WEN's 4500 surge watts. The Champion's 9375 surge watts handles it.

Which lasts longer on a tank?

The WEN runs about 8.5 hours at half load on 2.2 gallons of gasoline. The Champion's 7.7-gallon tank runs far longer at half load, though its listed 5.5-hour figure is on propane.

Is the Champion worth the extra $298?

Only if you need 240V or more than 3500 running watts. For tailgating, camping and small loads, the WEN does the job for less and is much quieter.

Will the Champion damage electronics?

It is a conventional generator, so it is not inverter-clean like the WEN. Use a surge protector or UPS for sensitive gear, or pick the WEN for laptops and medical devices.

Do both run on propane?

Yes. The WEN drops to 3150 running watts on propane and the Champion to 6750. Both include a propane hose.
