I like your load bank more than mine. Great work!

wife and kids went to the neighbors for a bit so I finally had some time to run the whole house on the MEP. I honestly can't believe how well it ran. The water pump barely made it burp. The A/C only kicked it up to 25% with all the rest of the house on. Only with both TVs, the A/C, the...

for the money, I'd try a sx460, I believe they've been used in other MEPs with success.

leave bonding strap in place until you hook it to the house or to a panel that is bonded. If you like, I have a breaker box already wired with breakers and wire for load testing. Welcome to borrow it.

sounds like you had output on the lugs after moving the reconnection switch to 120/240. Work the AM-VM switch a couple times to try to clean up the contacts, may try some contact cleaner if that doesn't work. Also, go ahead and ground the unit while you are testing.

I'm tempted to buy a cricut. Would need to sell some custom stencils to recoup the cost though.

I saw one locally, for $60, a few month's ago, but it was upwards of 100 gallons. This would be a good place to discuss the longterm storage of diesel. What products are a must have? Diesel Kleen, biocide, specific brands that could be found at wal-mart. One other thing I'm going to add is...

When I repaint this, what is the best way to get the stencils reapplied? Paint black, attach vinyl letters, paint green, peel letters?

I used This Charger. It hasn't burned down yet, so I think I'm good to go. Not sure if it is going to hold up in the humidity though. Cheap enough that I won't lose any sleep if I have to replace it. Solar panel is an Aleko 20w from eBay. I did notice that the batteries were a little over...

standard deck blocks found at home depot/lowes/ace. They are intended to be used in construction of decks without having to sink 4x4 pylons into the ground. Just clear away any organic matter(grass/leaves) which may decompose and affect level, level the blocks front to back and side to side...

Got my solar panel in and spent about an hour getting things hooked up. I ran the hookup to the lugs at the slave receptacle. Not a whole lot to say about it beyond that. Charge controller is mounted with two sided tape.

Eli Roberts delivers and the ORD is about $1 less than normal. Not sure on the bio mix, if any. They may have a minimum requirement for delivery as well, not sure, but you can self serv at their place on Lake Bradford Rd. I've got a 75 gallon tank I need to clean up that I plan to us, and...

Ever seen the movie Up?

nevermind, I see the ad now.

Spent an hour last night fabbing a bracket for my volt/ammeters. One per leg, referenced to neutral for voltage. I used twisted pair from cat-5 cable for the wire extension. I/m planning on bolting the bracket inside the documentation hatch, it should fit with the documentation box in place.

you could also leave the tailgate at home, that will remove some, not much, but some weight.

You can load my spare into the bed and make a run to thomasville and back if you want to try it out.

I've seen loads of people toting a pallet of sod in a half-ton which often weighs closer to 2,000#. I think you'd be find to haul the MEP in yours, just get it as far forward as possible. One of the guys, maybe DieselAddict, loaded 3x in the bed of his dually 3500. May be a good excuse to...

i received them, but have not yet installed them
