Just rolled the dice on an MEP-803a from GP. So it looks like I'll be making a road trip from Jacksonville, Fl to Fayetteville, NC and back next week sometime. The unit is trailer mounted and the photos of the trailer show it's in good shape, but my gut is telling me not to trust it on such a...

I'm curious what constitutes a rebuild? Would they me rebuilt internally but be left cosmetically worn or are they completely refurbished new paint and all? Is there a tell tail give away that a unit has been refurbished? I'll also add that I am of course looking at over all unit condition as...

I'm researching the MEP-803a units now. If you were buying from one of the government auction houses and could not preview the unit ahead of time other than through the photos provided, what would be the maximum hours on the hour meter you would consider reasonable for a unit not intended to be...

I'm and EE for a utility and we have a few small setups on our system, but not many people run a battery bank. Most use them to be "green" and offset their power bill. I feel like if you're going to spend the money on a PV system then you might as well add the batteries and make it available off...

Ive got a heat pump (4 ton with a soft start), an electric oven and an electric cloths dryer. Stove top and water heater are both LP. I'll get the panel cover off this weekend and take some measurements with my amp clamp to get some hard numbers, but I'm pretty certain with proper load...

Well, I guess my thinking is that I would rather burn a little extra fuel and have the added capacity to run everything including the AC should I need to. I'll surely have enough load, even without the AC unit to avoid wet stacking. Besides that, my other option is a LP fueled generator that...

It doesn't seem like there is that much cost difference between he 802's and the 803's and the fuel consumption isn't that much greater on the 803 so why no go with enough power to run the house? Tom

I could probably get by with 5kw with load shedding and I might end up there, but I'd like to be able to run the whole place should a long term outage occur. It would be nice to have the option to run the AC if the weather were really hot which is the default state here in Florida. I know you...

I'm not afraid to get dirty so I can wrench on one no problem but in a perfect world I'd find a low hours unit that had been maintained but hadn't had a fresh coat of paint in 10 years. Operational but ugly. I'll stay away from units with serious mechanical or electrical issues for obvious...

Where do you all suggest to look for a MEP-003A or MEP-803A? I've hit all the common sites like GL, GP, Ebay, and Craigslist. Are these the best places to look? If not where else would you suggest? Tom
