    Found a couple Jerry Cans at a local flea market today......

    The guy wanted $12 each for them so I offered $20 for both and he accepted. I am going to clean them up a bit and fill with water to see if there are leaks. I suspect the one dated 1952 has a leak since its a bit oily on the bottom. If no leaks then I will finish cleaning, paint and then use...

    Generator in a shipping container

    An interesting thing...my 803 is quieter than my 8kw air cooled screamer! I can't believe the 802 is any louder than the 803. But then I'm not sure how picky your neighbors are!

    adding GFCI receptacles to trailer mounted MEP802a.

    I would direct wire into the actual lugs and not rely on the fender ground (Someone else here recommended that to me) as there might be paint that could prevent a good ground. There actually should be a ground wire running from the lug to that terminal...if not then it's been removed. A ground...

    Wiring a 50 amp 120v rv service

    Here's an article that should help clear this up as to how a 50amp (and 30amp) RV is wired. https://www.rvtechmag.com/electrical/chapter3.php 30 amp is 120 volt single pole and 50 amp is 120/240 volt split phase.

    My Load Bank

    Thanks for the advice...it is greatly appreciated! I will do some testing with each individual space heater and see what each one draws...mark it on them then I will have an actual draw.

    My Load Bank

    I will need to start with the actual individual space heaters I would expect in order to be accurate. I really don't know if each one is actually pilling 1500 watts but will be easy to check. Thanks for the input!

    MEP-00# Exhaust Hose
