    How close do you have to "balance" the load on MEP generators in 240v mode?

    USA homes run 120/240v split, single phase (I believe that's the correct terminology). I have read multiple posts of very good information from @Isaac-1 about the MEP-701A/016B generator (the first military generators I've owned): Examples...

    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    Yesterday (Feb 04th, 2022) I purchased an MEP-803A 10kw mounted on an M116A3 trailer with the "Power Unit PU-798" body. I believe both were manufactured in 2003 and were rebuilt/reset in September 2010 and delivered in October 2010. The generator had 77.4 hours of runtime. It even still had the...

    I just purchased a LifeSaver jerry can (designed and manufactured in the UK). It is an all-in-one hand pump water purifier in a jerry can platform and holds 18.5 liters (~4.9 gallons), which due to the internal hand pump and filter (and structure reinforcing holes) is just slightly less than the...

    Account Upgrade -> Concurrent instead of extending existing

    I saw a post by @patracy about a membership drive for $10 for a year. I have a current/active membership but I thought it was a great opportunity to get a deal and extend my membership. However, it appears the purchase will run concurrent to my existing membership instead of extending it. I...

    Master Cylinder Differences for M101 Surge Brakes

    I wanted to discuss a minor difference between a older style master cylinder (probably original) off my 1997 Pribbs M101A3 trailer. First, a side-by-side comparison. The new one is (obviously) the shiny silver, which is the "marine" (wet environment) finish: Part Number: 10614-M...

    Valence's 1997 Pribbs M101A3

    Well, I sold my 1968 M101A1 and, in favor of the surge brakes, bought this 1997 Pribbs M101A3 from Gunzy! Obviously from the stenciling it places it as a former USMC trailer. It hardly has been used too, but not surprisingly the surge shock is bad and the master cylinder was dry and...
