It is a bit on the heavy side, though you can get a wheel kit to make it easier to move. You may need an adapter for some appliances.
The 3500 works well for camping and RVs. It starts easily with one or two pulls. There have been some customers who got their generators damaged during shipping, but Champion customer service sent them replacement parts as needed.
Several customers wished there were an electrical start, but one said even their 10 year old child could start the generator as is.

As one customer says, "Have had this unit for a few years. Has been needed a few times otherwise I take out and run twice a year. Starts great every time, big enough to keep the whole house going in an outage. A little more money but when you add in the wheel kit on the smaller unit plus the extra power and catch it on sale thought it to be a good buy."
This generator is powerful enough to run a household or take camping. Wheels come already built into the frame, making this generator easy to move about.
