Just be aware most parallel kit generators only produce 120v, only a few are capable of 240v. If your 'other uses' include 240v you will have to double check the generators you are looking at are capable of producing 240v when connected in parallel.

And since we're talking about Champions and not "Most Parallel Kits".....take a look at this Champion parallel kit, 50A outlet

50 amps is 12,000 watts. You would need to parallel 2, 6000 watt generators.

READ THE FINE PRINT !
It only supports 120VAC, so either one leg of the 50A outlet is dead or shorted to the other leg. Useless for 240VAC devices.
