2010 Fermont MEP-802A 5kW Generator Set

[Mattguy]

Just picked up this running Mep-802a with trailer. Paid 2100+fees. Is the trailer worth anything?

 

[98G]

Yes!

 

[Mattguy]

Yes!

So good price with the trailer and generator? 2600 out the door. I'm new to these generators. Is the 5kw rating true?

My opinion/experience-

They put those gensets on a couple different trailers. That's the better one.

The MEP802 is more like 6500W if you're comparing to civvy 5kw units.

You did fine on pricing, presuming the genset works and isn't showing a ton of hours.

I sent you a PM with additional information.

Thank you for info! I've always wanted one and this one had no interest.

Military generators are all under rated.

That's the aluminum trailer, very nice trailers.
You can probably sell the trailer for $1000 or so.
I've sold several sets of tires for $500 a pair, then put smaller 8 on 6.5" lug wheels on the trailers to lower the pintle and sold the trailer for $800 - $1000 extra when selling a generator on it.
