    MEP-802a best practices

    Pack rats are always a concern but so far have not been an issue. It's 2x6 construction on slab and sealed up pretty tight. I am going to research rodent deterrent for the genset and my other toys that are up there. I will also leave traps out which should let me know if any get in while it's...

    MEP-802a best practices

    I have a low hour MEP-802a on the way. It will be used at our place in Montana for charging solar batteries on cloudy days and for load support when needed. It will be stored inside when not being used (not climate controlled but very low humidity). I have read all about wetstacking and how...

    MEP-802a hookup

    Thanks. I'm not seeing anyone that actually sells the "Viper" product to individuals. Isn't the Cerrowire rubber 8/4 linked below the same thing? I'm looking for wire that can be easily coiled on the front of my trailer genset (portable) and down the road direct buried when I permanently...

    What trailer is this ??

    I asked the seller about the trailer with the flip up tongue and built in tank. He didn't know a lot about them but he bought three of them and they are all sold. He thinks they are called a Barnhill Trailer.

    MEP-003A hook up question

    Some electricians don't know the ins and outs of grounding. When we finished our basement we had a sub-panel installed next to the main panels. The electrician bonded neutral to ground in the sub-panel and didn't run a ground wire from the main panel. I did a lot of reading on grounding and...

    MEP-802a hookup

    Thanks for the info Daybreak. My thoughts on 100' are simply for less noise. My barn has steel siding and roof and even a super quiet inverter/generator next to the building can be heard in the living quarters on the opposite side of the barn. I think the steel has a reverb effect. 100' of...

    MEP-802a hookup

    Correct. Don't want a suicide cord. I'll take the one off the barn and put it on the trailer and put a male connector on the barn. Thanks.

    MEP-802a hookup

    I bought an MEP-802a that is mounted on an LTT-TQG trailer. I plan to use it at my offgrid barn (altitude is 5,100 feet if that matters). I have a solar system with a 120/240v solar inverter/charger. The charging input breaker is a 240v 30a breaker. I plan to a 100' 10/4 transfer box cord to...

    I'll ask him and report back. Pretty sure he has sold them.

    Kicking myself for not bidding

    It does and I definitely feel like I paid a fair price for my unit and trailer. I'm semi-retired and like to tinker and will probably take the auction plunge at some point. I have always just flipped motorcycles and done fairly well on those. Have rehabbed some gas generators and done fine...

    Kicking myself for not bidding

    I didn't buy the one at auction. Somebody else scored it for $1,800 I paid significantly more to a private seller for a low hour 802a completely cleaned up, all filters changed and running on an LTT-LQG trailer. I was just wondering if anyone here actually inspected the GP unit.

    Kicking myself for not bidding

    Not really but thanks. I contact GP about an inspection but they never responded. Not sure if I was too late just six days before auction of if inspections at Ft. Riley are impossible.

    Kicking myself for not bidding

    I'm regretting a little not trying to buy an 802a duel power plant from GL. Auction no. 707070. I decided to go with a known working single 802a on trailer for much more $$$ The power plant sold for $1,800. Did anyone actually inspect this unit that can make me feel better about it. Both...

    LTT-TQG trailer with MEP-802a genset

    JRM by adjustable and flippable do you mean something like this? Nice setup by the way.

    LTT-TQG trailer with MEP-802a genset

    Thanks. From the photos I am seeing on GL and GP they usually have them fully back with the control panel facing toward the pin. Any reason for that? Maybe controls forward due to exhaust flap? Here is an example (it's an 803): I would like to have it all the way back so I can put cargo...

    LTT-TQG trailer with MEP-802a genset

    I bought an MEP-802a genset on what I believe is an LTT-TQG trailer. In the photo the genset is sitting on blocks. Once mounted it will be at the same level as the external fuel tank. The seller is delivering the trailer and genset to me in about two weeks. I have some questions on towing...

    Newbie looking to buy MEP802a or MEP831a

    Yes. The trailer is mine and it will have a sand colored 802 with about 160 hours (photo above). I'm assuming he will take the listing down shortly. The camo 802 was bought by my friend and he is getting a different trailer. I skipped the external tank. I believe the trailer I bought is an...
