1. The Honda is not big enough to handle the load for continuous operation.
2. The Champion is defective.
I agree that the Honda must be right on the edge of its capability. I stll think that forced cooloing of the Honda may help out but you will still be at the bleeding edge.
The Champion may not be defective but just FAR LESS capable. There is considerable truth inthe axiom that "you get what you pay for.". Honda and Yamaha generators cost 3 to 4 times what the other stuff does. Not without reason.
BTW: I looked but did not see mention of how big the trailer is. I am wondering if a 5k btu unit may not be a better solution and possibly run with the Honda?
