Christie generator

RAY.. AS STATED IN A PREVIOUS THREAD TO-DAY, I HAVE THE 100AMP MODEL AND IT IS MUCH QUIETER THAN THE SMALLER MODEL. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE 55 CANNOT BE UPGRADED, BUT RING SPRINGERS IN BRIS (07 3889 8898 ) AND THEY WILL BE ABLE TO TELL YOU.

The noise is about half way between the EU10 and the 55amp Christie set. I would say that they would not pass the sound regulations for a Nat. Park but as they are only running for an hour ( in my case once every three days) I just choose my time very carefully. Make sure that the Ranger has already been around and that nearly everyone else has gone walking/ fishing etc,( definately not sleeping). At Springers in Bris. I was able to compare the two sets for noise and the 100amp is considerably quieter. Sniff around and find someone who has one in a camp situation and like this site, most are willing to share their knowledge.

you can braze a downpipe from the 55 amp exhaust down into dirt or sand which makes it considerably quieter, but still not national park quiet. If in a national park best to use your jumper leads straight onto your battery and run your motor for half an hour or so if you have a battery that can take a high charge.

Ray,
I was at Springers last week and they have an exhaust pipe set up available for the 55amp model although I couldnt hear it runing because one connection was wrong on the set up. I can only assume that it would fit the 100 amp model as well. I will be trialing the 55amp model out over easter and will let you know the results then. I am looking at one to run my camper trailer battery back up when low..

I also have the older model and it is noisy. We travelled the GRR a couple of years ago and my dual battery controller failed so I had to use the Christie every day. Travelling companions (mainly my wife) objected to the noise so I just drove out of camp, found a good spot, settled down with a beer and a book, and let it rip for about an hour. Everybody was happy.
