Our take on the Champion 4000-Watt Electric Start Tri Fuel RV Ready Portable Generator

The Champion 201223 is a portable generator that runs on gasoline, propane or natural gas, so you can switch fuels with a dial instead of buying a second unit. Gasoline gives 5,000 starting and 4,000 running watts with up to 14 hours at half load from the 5-gallon tank; propane drops to 4,500/3,600 watts and natural gas to 4,050/3,240 watts. Electric start with Cold Start Technology, CO Shield carbon monoxide shutdown and the Intelligauge meter for voltage, frequency and run hours round it out. It suits homeowners who want home-backup or job-site power without storing gasoline, and tri-fuel flexibility is rare at this size, where most rivals are dual fuel only.

Pros
  • Runs on gasoline, propane or natural gas out of the box
  • Electric start with battery and Cold Start Technology
  • CO Shield shuts the engine down on high carbon monoxide
  • Intelligauge tracks voltage, frequency and run hours
  • 25-foot natural gas hose kit included
  • Long run time on gasoline at half load
Cons
  • Output falls noticeably on propane and natural gas
  • Heavy for one person to move
  • Natural gas hookup needs a suitable supply and fittings
  • No 240-volt outlet, so it won't feed a transfer switch for whole-home power

About the Champion 4000-Watt Electric Start Tri Fuel RV Ready Portable Generator

This 4000-watt portable generator runs on gasoline, propane or natural gas. A Fuel Select dial lets you switch between the three fuels. It has a 224cc Champion engine and an electric start with a battery. Cold Start Technology helps it start in cold weather.

On gasoline, it produces 5000 starting watts and 4000 running watts, and runs for 14 hours at 50% load on a full 5-gallon tank. On a 20-pound propane tank, it produces 4500 starting watts and 3600 running watts, and runs for 10.5 hours at 50% load. On natural gas, it produces 4050 starting watts and 3240 running watts. A 25-foot natural gas hose kit is included for connecting to a home gas source.

Intelligauge shows voltage, frequency, session run time and total run time, and helps you track maintenance intervals. A low oil shut-off sensor is built in, and the generator comes with engine oil. It has CO Shield® and is EPA certified. The noise level is 68 dBA from 23 feet.

Questions and answers

Can it really run on natural gas?
Yes. It ships with a 25-foot natural gas hose kit with a quick connect, a flare fitting and an NPT adapter. On natural gas it produces 4,050 starting and 3,240 running watts.
How long does it run on a tank of gasoline?
About 14 hours at 50% load with the 5-gallon tank full. On a 20-pound propane tank it runs about 10.5 hours at 50% load.
Does it have a 240-volt outlet?
No. It is a 120-volt generator, so it powers appliances, RV hookups and tools but not a 240-volt transfer switch for whole-home wiring.
What comes in the box?
The generator, a battery for electric start, engine oil, and the natural gas hose kit. You supply gasoline or a propane tank.
Is it safe to use near a house?
CO Shield monitors carbon monoxide and shuts the engine down at high levels, but the generator still must run outdoors, away from windows and doors.
How does it compare with a dual fuel generator?
It adds natural gas to the usual gasoline and propane options, which means no fuel storage if you have a gas line. The trade-off is lower output on gas fuels and more weight.
