    Advice needed. Which genset for off grid?

    Ah! I'll keep that in mind as the water pump and washer/dryer have the biggest loads. Thanks!

    Advice needed. Which genset for off grid?

    Thanks K! I drove back down to Atlanta and got an exchange for the Magnum since I didnt open it up yet. Got the Schneider XW+6848 for a little more. I think this will be a better choice in the long run. Thanks again! Vince.

    Looking at the one you have and the others to see the difference. Theres the XW, XW PRO and NA. The one your using is 240vac output and the other 2 are 120/230vac output?. Looks rather nice and has plenty of power at 6800W. Vince

    Hey J! Nothing to forgive. Your list is very interesting and much longer than my list! I would dearly love to know how you do all that on 40 some odd amps As the underground mechanic told Max -- Unlimited. And you'll notice he didnt go over 120mph which is far from unlimited. The...

    Advice needed. Which genset for off grid?

    Slim to none for running everything at once! We dont use the washer everyday as we have a "wash day" 2 times a week - the Slpendide only uses 1300w. Most likely 220v for the pump using a 1:2 step-up transformer. Why? Because I already have a marine grade 120v:220 v step up transformer from...

    The wife and I are at 4450W total for phone/tablet charging, washer/drier, LED lighting, 40" TV, a Nuwave induction plate, a convection microwave, ceiling fans, Instant pot, etc - still can only guess at the water pump. This is if we use everything everyday. Time for a beer! 🍻 Vince.

    Lets Talk M1101

    This is why Im here - to learn from people in the know. So now its a dedicated trailer and gen all in one if possible and a 101A2/116A2 trailer for hauling stuff. Sounds good. My truck is a 4x4 and sits high, but not as high as the M1101. Dang it! How does the report thing work? Vince

    Lets Talk M1101

    Dang it. I was hoping my recollection of the 1990's was wrong. Yes, wide and tall it seems. Looking at the M116A2 and M101A2's now. Ah! The M101A2 is much lower and I like the box bed. Thanks a lot juanprado! Vince

    Lets Talk M1101

    Howdy all! I just got through stirring the pot in the generator section and now its you trailer peoples turn. I will be getting a MEP-803A generator - it was the final contestant in a 802 vs 803 vs 003 battle. Now I need/want a trailer for it. I'll make it easy by just asking if an M1101 is...

    200KW? What model is that? I bet its way out of my budget - like way out of the country way out. Cummins owns Caterpillar right? I want to see how big it is and what it weighs! Vince
