Champion Power Equipment 100376 Storm Shield Severe Weather Portable Generator Cover by GenTent for 4000 to 12,500-Starting Watt Generators

A small investment to protect your large investment. The cover itself is well made good thickness and stitching, Velcro in all the right places, The frame is a bit flimsy, but is easy to assemble and does the trick, think of it like a dome style camping tent. I recommend getting the see thru skirt attachment so that you can cover all the important parts of your generator, plus see the main board and power connections. This keeps the weather off of and out of your generator's main parts for a fraction of the cost. Remember YOU SHOULD NOT RUN A GENERATOR, WITH NO COVER IN ANY WET CONDIOTIONS AND YOU MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT RUN ONE IN ANY CLOSED CONDITIONS! The cover also gives your generator protection from the scorching sun. We were without power for a week (Beryl) and this cover kept my generator looking like it came out of the box!

Perfect fit for a 201417 11,000 watt Champion inverter. A little pricey but well made. Installation instructions are clear and detailed. Was a little concern about clearance for the inverter's high positioned exhaust but the "tent" can be positioned such that I don't think it will be a problem. They also have a carrying bag that I'm going to get for the "tent's" storage that will also fit the fiberglass poles.

My generator tent arrived quickly, as promised. It was easy to install and very much reminds me of a camping tent. The fabric is sturdy and should last a long time (since I store it in the garage when not needed). Something of a surprise is that even with the tent on, my generator still fits through my side door, so I don't have to figure out how to open my garage door without electricity. However, so far, I have not had to use my generator. After several storms in rapid succession, we have have had a little better weather. So, I have not had a chance to see if it can handle a full load of rain or snow. But it's still early....

We often lose power during winter storms -- and that means rain and wind when a generator is needed (usually at least 3 times each winter). Studied specs on this cover and, from reviewer comments, thought it was more practical than other 'generic' covers with fiddly frame-to-dome connections, and so decided to see if it would work on our Sportsman LP-only 7000 watt unit. It fits very well. As shipped, the cover kit accommodates a variety of gen frame sizes so long as the frame is tubular metal (with tubes ~ 1.5" diameter or even a bit smaller) (Champion evidently sells adapter kits for square tubing and other variations). The instructions include a table for all installation settings to match a variety of generator sizes, which -- if followed -- in our case quickly produced a good, taut installation; the add-on skirt to protect the electrical panel is long enough to wrap around a corner and cover other potentially weather-vulnerable components. Good features: Cover can be quickly removed (when necessary) without fiddling with ties and snaps; clamps can be rotated on tubes to get them out of the way (if necessary) (correctly installed, they stick out at each end of the generator, but can be quickly repositioned to as not to protrude); cover, skirt and fiberglass pole 'dome' can be disassembled for compact storage. Because we use LP-only gens, we do not have to use a refueling port or flap, so there's no evaluation here of that function for this cover. The cover appears to be 'as described' -- stout enough for serious rain and even for fairly strong gusts of wind. It gets '4' rating solely because of the price and a wish that it could be lower.

I covered my champion generator with this after easy assembly. I live in the mountains so weather can get really bad. This cover exposes what needs to be open and covers what needs covered. It’s held in place and has easy access to filling the genny with fuel. Durable materials are used and Velcro closures finishes it off. Tremendous help when genny stays outside. Great for the price. Fits genny perfectly. It’s doing what it was intended to do.

First a knock to amazon, i purchased a new item but this one was clearly opened and probably returned, i paid for new..... i was going to send it back but i opened it today and installed it while doing the break in run on my new generator to make sure all parts were here and see if there was any damage but it seems ok so i guess ill keep it- a little annoying but not the end of the world. If amazon is going to sell returned or open box items, they should clearly say it is an open box or returned item. Now that that is out of the way, this seems like a good cover- it is not really like a tent, the material is much heavier more like what an inflatable raft is made out of so it is pretty heavy and it comes with another panel that velcros on to the electrical panel area so the electric end is also protected. These covers are made for champion by gen tent and get great reviews on line (you can u tube installation because the manual is a little weak) they are a little expensive but you cannot run these things in the rain and power rarely goes put on a clear dry day so you gotta have a plan for that or the generator os pretty much useless, and after our February snow mess here in Texas 2021, a generator upgrade was needed..... ercot (Texas electric utility reliability regulator) probably did more for generator sales this year —-2021 than anyone ever could. I think this will protect the generator well in bad weather and keeps it away from the house while running. negatives? cost, and the brackets that hold it on are plastic and will not stay in place without the rubber bushings that go under the brackets around the frame so if those are lost or break - problem. I wish they'd include an extra set just in case, for the money it seems like plastic brackets, rubber spacers are kinda cheap but hopefully im wrong it just seems like those are the kind of things that get lost or broken at the absolute worst time - when you need them and its a stormy day. That is the only negatives i can think of because in general, it seems like a well made item.

Perfect fit

Awesome addition for our Champion generator. Very easy to assemble and attach to your generator. Piece of mind knowing our back up generator is fully protected against adverse weather. Thank you Champion!

Haven’t had a chance to put to use yet but seems like a great product. Easy to install. Sturdy material. Only downside I see is that it for the price it should have included a storage bag when not in use

Haven't had bad weather to really know but by it's look, fit and quality i'm quite sure it will do the job. Easy installation as well.

Bought this to protect my Champion 3K / 4K peak generator. The materials appear to be quality items: high grade marine vinyl, Hook & Loop Velcro, moulded plastics and the four fiberglass rods. Assembly ad care instructions are provided in a multi-lingual booklet, READ them through (they're clear & concise) and assembly and setup on your generator will literally be as simple as 1-2-3. The Easy Adjustment guide in the manual lists the frame dimensions the cover will fit. Frame widths up to 22.5 inches. Less than 17 inches require an additional adapter kit, absolute min width being16 inches. Frame length up to 32 inches (provided width is no more than 21 inches at this length) and no shorter than 23 inches (the adapter kit would be required at this short length). This cover is intended for gens with a top frame mounted fuel tank, hence the large "fuel door" access flap. If your gen is an Inverter style with a side filled internal fuel tank there is a cover available specifically for those. The 3 star durability rating is strictly because the item is brand new and durability is a resultant of time, use and exposure to weather. The stitching and overall finish of the cover is 1st rate, no loose stitches, even consistent spacing and back stitch ended. About the only way this item could be improved would be to include the GenTent storage bag which is available separately here on Amazon.

Well worth the money, easy assembly, easy access to fuel and oil and all the components to run the generator... We are very pleased with this purchase.
