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...

They do shake a lot! It sucks when your OCD wants there to be no rattles & you have it on a trailer, haha. Slightly off topic, but with the vibrations, make sure no wires have found their way to rub on edges of metal. I caught one on mine before it rubbed through the insulation.

I just got mine going a few months ago & I did a lot of troubleshooting like you have. Annoying but at the same time, you learn a lot about the function of the machine. I still have some minor kinks to work out but it runs like a champ now. I posted some videos on the unit while I was...

Here's the post with the direct link. Use the dimensions of the generator that are in the TM. That's what I did & it worked out well! https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?179213-MEP-802A-Fix-up-Thread&p=2238156&viewfull=1#post2238156

Tarp is great! It fits a little lop-sides for me because of the power cables coming out. I may re-route them to come out the bottom so that way the tarp sits square & tight. I added the clip straps on the bottom. Worked out great because they are just long enough to wrap around the rail on...

Well, pumps came in today. Seems quality. I don't have time to work on an install it right now as I have my Kubota tractor ripped apart doing a new fuel system. Once I can get to it, I will post results.

I figured by the pictures it was different. Once it's in hand, I figured I would find the required adapters & share those part numbers as well.

So, I got an e-mail today from Summit Racing saying that the order for the ATX-E1074 pumps was canceled due to not being available anymore. DieselAddict on another post found that it was replaced by Carter, since they purchased the other company, by part number P74016 & it's also available at...

Thanks for the information. I just got notice of my canceled order as well. Going to get ahold of them & have them change the order to the part number you mentioned.

Got notification that my custom tarp cover shipped. Should be here by next week. Will share pictures when I get it on.

I didn't know you could jumper them... interesting idea. Maybe that's what I'd have to do. I kind of forgot that it's a dual inverter setup... maybe the surge is above what one half can handle but it's not enough to trigger an overload. I still thought this would run them no problem as it's...

10 gauge all the way. I'm not sure if the meter I have is fast but it does have a clamp on ammeter that I could put around the Romex to watch for amperage spike. Also could put the pins in the plug when it's starting. I though about this too. I had a 25ft cable going into the main breaker...

I'm out at my off grid place this weekend with the generator. Haven't put a lot of time on it since the weather is nice... Just to charge betteries & run the kitchen. Ran the heat a bit the first morning. Yesterday afternoon, I was just messing around with different combinations of stuff to see...
