Plan every red light ahead of time. Slow while downshifting, hit every gear on the way down. You should already be in 2nd before you even need to hit the brakes.
Some people when driving a manual, simply go to neutral and get on the brakes to stop - don't do this.

She probably has 200 amp service. But the MEP802 obviously can't run all of that.
Her furnace and water heater are gas. She's concerned about running the lights, the refrigerator, the furnace, and whatever other trivialities can be supported by the 802. We're going to go through her breaker...
I'm looking for a plain Jane mechanical transfer switch to be used to connect a MEP802 to a house for use during power outages.

If you want seamless power with no fiddling and no thinking about it, a propane...
You're paying a lot of premium for the ability to comfortably cruise at hwy speeds for something that's primarily for "tooling around the lake and two track".

The two rectangular holes in the pipe on your bumper could be filled with a 1/2" steel flat plate to provide mounting surface for 5ton type tow bar attachment points. That's how I'd do it if I were using your bumper.
Here's a pic of the redtruck's rear bumper, made to be compatible with...
