Thank god she’s ok. Glad to hear the gen sets worked well. We got lucky no issues for the holidays. Happy new year to all and hope everyone is well. Still on the look out for a decent mep802 in New England. Might try my hand at gov planet not to sure yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was going down the wrong path. I figured bigger is better. But as I always do I stop and go back over all the information I got and with the gen set running I found that there’s no reason to have a 10kw. 5kw will do everything I need and some. Plus I can save gas and it’s not as heavy to move...

I just had the 831 running in 5deg with a wind chill of 0 had lost power for a few hours yesterday and between them turn sections on and off I was in and out. Figured I would stay on generator so at least the furnace and fridge ran. Was able to run the tv and modem. It was topped out at 2700kw...

So I’m definitely narrowing it down to an 803 or 802. With the 831 I can cover any 1-3 day issues. The times I’ve needed it we’re not to hot out and I just cooked in the grill in the summer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so to answer you questions. Over the past 2 years we have lost power about a full weak each year. That’s on an off longest eas last year for 3 days. Usual it’s a day head and there. My grid power runs through the woods and we are the last to be fixed. 12kw would be to have all my...

Thanks for that. I really need to figure out style I want. Or better yet what’s available. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Silly question do they use trailer brakes on such a small trailer? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s good to know the hmmwv would be nice to have dual use but cash is king and I like saving lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh ok. I’ll make sure to get drop hitch and flip it around the 4Runner is about 3 inches lower at the hitch then f150. I’m going to grab a trailer to just to have some night reading. The most I’ve towed was. 3600 and it did alright. I’ll look up what they weigh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nope your good I welcome all comments Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That interesting is it an aluminum body I could actually use that for more then just a gen set hauler. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is the 002a the air cooled 5kw predecessor to the 802? I’m also interested in the 802 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok nice m116a2 style trailer I’m definitely going to keep my eyes open for that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Keep me in mind when you want to put it up. I’m definitely interested!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone in ct that has an 802 or 803 I can check out and see run? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very interesting it’s interesting that you got 10k hours. That beyond any thing I’ll ever need and I’m sure a lot cheaper to maintain then the mil sets. That would be a fun winter project to build my own gen set. Ok ok so build one 5-7k and buy a mep803 just because. You know my wife’s going...

Thanks kloppk that’s exactly what I wanted to see. I still have to get one of your conversion kits for the 831 so when my inverter dies I can switch it over. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s not a bad idea on a trailer. Hummm I’m going to take a look at gov planet and eBay. How well do the m116 trailers hook up to an suv? That would be cool the more I think about it. On the power side I’ve had concerns about “clean” power. That the whole reason I didn’t get a generac was...

I know that smell Al lot well ever time I change the filter on my oil tank and furnace. Takes weeks to leave the basement even with pig wipe and a stainless bucket… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow they made a 10kw air cooled diesel gen set. That’s really cool that’s kinda the reason I liked the 831 low maintenance. If the inverter wasn’t such a finicky thing it would be a solid unit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
