If you don't have an automictic transfer switch you must have an interlock of some sort in place. If not, there is a chance of a back-feed if you forget the process of shutting the main off and starting your generator. Or worse yet, someone else that is not familiar with the proper operational...

Don't be messing with your project if your not experienced or qualified to do the install. All it will take is a faulty installation with the potential of back-feeding your service entrance to the grid. Without the proper disconnect, you can end up killing a lineman working on the powerline...

Rick, Looks like you have your next project lined up.

Ditto here. Very happy with my Cummins "Propane fueled " genset and it comes with a warranty.

Smells when you drive it? Maybe the PO used it for a toilet smell? Or is it more of a Fuel smell?

I was looking at going down that same "rabbit hole" for my home back when the surplus 10K gen-sets were going for $300-$500 . What stopped me was the later gen-set auctions the prices were going for $3,000-$5,000 and the auto transfer option was rare and very expensive at the time. For $6,000...

Why replace the surge brakes? IMHO that is one of the best features on those trailers. A properly maintained surge brake system is fool proof and operates so smoothly you hardly realize that trailer is behind you. Just get a pintle hitch adapter for your tow vehicle and you will be well ahead...

Hear is your advice; Your 10mph is built in for your safety. You have to get over the "WOW" factor before it will allow you drive any faster.

I think the forum rules were broken because of the thread title. Every time my wife sees me reading this thread she accuses me of having an affair

Where ya going to store your surf board?

So true, married here but with limited purchasing permission. I pass up neat things almost daily. It could be a good thing I guess, My back yard doesn't look like a used car lot and I still have most of my retirement fund intact.

That's a nice project to work on if you get it. Are you planning on restoring it to original or keeping it as a camper?

The D in the Vin means Military vehicle not diesel.> The 3 in the Vin after the D means 1 ton.> The J in the Vin means 6.2 diesel. "Just saying" Old Guys Rule

GOOGLE is your friend. It found all the missing D30s Chevrolet produced a D30 model truck. The D30 was a 1-ton truck that was part of the Chevy C/K series of trucks. It was produced from 1975 to 1986. The D30 was equipped with a Dana 60 front axle and a GM 14-bolt rear axle2. The D30 was also...

Maybe the D stood for Diesel?
