Can the Etrailer.com 4,500-Watt Portable RV Generator Be Operated at High Altitudes?

Question:

If I plan to use this at above 9k feet for hunting trips will it work? Really just need to be able to charge the batteries to run the heater a night and work the microwave. But want to make sure I get something that will work when we need to run the ac and more in the summer with the family as well.

You will be able to use the etrailer.com 4500 Watt Portable RV Generator # 333-0005 at altitudes but you will need to use the High Altitude Jet # 333-335717005. This jet kit is for use between 6000-8000ft above sea level and is the highest jet kit available. This kit allows this generator to operate at altitude without running lean and you would only experience minor inefficiency compared to the functionality of this generator when operated below 3000-ft above sea level.

I have attached some helpful videos about the generator and jet kit for you to check out.
