Did some minor work on the trailer. Re-routed the electrical leads out the bottom of the generator then cut a small hole for them to come up. Downsized to 3 outlets. Did this for two reasons... one was to change to 8 gauge wire.. Other is to the tarp could come all the way down to the mounting...

Thank you. I was trying a different site & got messed up. Found them.

I'm unable to find the listing with the information provided.

No, I didn't. I just had the local trailer shop weld an adjustable channel in place of the fixed ring. Cheaper that way anyways.

Alright so I used it this weekend & it's just shy of 30 hours now. Got the 0-30 ohm fuel level sender in earlier in the week. Modified it so that that size/length was close to the existing one. Got it in & it worked great. Installed the jumpers for 120v mode at the lugs & installed the switch...

Yes, she's always helping me out. Got her a little tool bag with small tools of her own. The kids use the trailer as a climbing toy when it's parked.

It's always nice to have a good piece of gear to keep things going! I use mine often at the off grid place but haven't needed it at the house yet in a true power loss situation. One time over the summer we got hit with lightening. Took about 10 minuets to get the trailer moved & everything...

If you're worried about the charge rate on the batteries, check the voltages on them. If the batteries are on their way out, the alternator will work harder to bring them up to where they want to be. Great deal! I'd love to get the bigger MEP 803A for my house. Waiting for a good deal to pop up...

If you're looking for something to power your place with a well, I'd go with the MEP 802A. I have both & find the MEP 802A to be easier to work on, quieter, & it uses almost the same fuel rate. If size is a huge deal, the MEP 831A will give you power but not what you need even for a small house...

I decided I'm going to mount it to the left side of the output lug compartment, similar to the outlets. Going to put something to secure the box so you have to make a bit of effort to turn it on. Also, will make something to be a reminder about it at the voltage selection switch.

I've been very happy with the trailer so far! Have taken it on quite a few trips. I decided to add a cord holder so the cord wasn't tangling with everything else in the toolbox. Also finally got a good RTIC cooler & use the strap down kit to mount it to the trailer for trips out to my off grid...

So, I got a few more parts in today. Got my batch of in line fuse holders & put one on the positive side of the solar charger since the one on it had broken glass in it. I don't know what ampere rating glass fuse was in there. Does anyone have one that can tell me? Installed the new fuel...

I know that probably makes more sense to do it at the output lugs... but does it provide any protection? It would just be much less work to put the switch as I was thinking. Run 6 inches of wire & it's good. I'm just not sure how I would be able to put a switch inside to make the connection easy...

When you jump them, do you do it at the inverter or the lugs? I wanted to put something together so this could be done quickly. My thought was to put a switch between L1 & L2 1 right at the inverter in a protected gang box. What do you think of this idea? Run a very short set of wires out & to...

Alright, I finally got to doing some work this weekend. I disconnected the battery & pull started. Everything seemed to work as it should. Also, I opened up the front panel & found the fuse holder fell out... strange. Put it back in as well. Could have been either one of these I guess. Thank...

Thanks guys. I let the MEP-802A charge the batteries up for about an hour. Then it started & I ran it under load for an hour. Ran out of time after that. I am going to get to putting the final parts in at the latest this weekend & will give everything suggested a try. I'm going to look up the...

Strange, one month ago I got the pumps & went to install them today. Anyways, before I even got to start, I ran into a problem. Moved it out of the garage & went to start it. No pump noise. Batteries had 18 volts. Not sure what killed them. The solar panel charge thing was installed but I...
