    803a hours

    When I bought it, my 803A had 18 hours on it (unit was reset) and it's a 2007. I'm considering buying a higher hour or older unit for replacement parts. Are there certain year ranges that have near 100% compatability of parts for my 2007?

    MEPs and Hurricane Irma

    I, like many others, have the manuals in PDF form. But I'm a much better learner when watching a video since it's got audio and visual stimulus. So.... I think it would be a cool idea if someone here would make a YouTube video or DVD or something that they could sell. First one would be...

    MEPs and Hurricane Irma

    I've got all the manual in electronic form, but does anyone know a reliable place to get authentic printed manuals? I've google'd and can't find any.

    Connected my MEP-803A the proper way as my home standby generator... Install pics...

    That's awesome, glad it worked out for you. I get a ton of questions when folks see mine on the trailer in the yard. They just keep walking around and looking at it. They're astonished when they see the sticker saying the military paid about $26K for it. LOL. I just searched the manual and...

    Connected my MEP-803A the proper way as my home standby generator... Install pics...

    Hi. So if it's a 10kW generator, then my math is telling me that at max (10kW) usage, I'd need a ~85A wire (10,000W/120V = 83.33A) If so, for a distance of about 20 feet from my generator to the connector on the house, what wire should I use? My Google-fu is finding that it should be 3GA wire...

    Won a MEP-803A with trailer at auction - but how long will it take to get home?

    Regarding writing up my experience: what's the best way to do that, another post on this thread or a brand new thread?

    Won a MEP-803A with trailer at auction - but how long will it take to get home?

    Hi guys, Nope, I wasn't in a big hurry. I wanted to optimize the time I had - only two days. My theory was such: travel down on Sunday since it's already a "day off", sleep in hotel so I can get up fresh and early, get to the pickup spot, do inspection, and start driving before I hit work-day...

    Won a MEP-803A with trailer at auction - but how long will it take to get home?

    Made it home after 10 hours. I kept it between 65 and 70 and had no problems at all. Only mistake was going through New York City instead of PA. I have to say, the GP/IP guys down in Chambersburg really have their act together. I pulled in and there were two other folks waiting to pick up...

    Won a MEP-803A with trailer at auction - but how long will it take to get home?

    It's a 2007. I brought duct tape, zip ties, and an HF magnetic LED trailer light kit. I'm leaving the hotel now to get it. Thanks again.

    Won a MEP-803A with trailer at auction - but how long will it take to get home?

    Thanks Thanks for all the replies. I think I'm now confident that I can keep it around 65-70 based on the condition when I see it tomorrow AM. I'm in the hotel after a 9 hour drive. It was a good long distance burn-in for my new pickup truck. Now I'm saying a prayer that the generator is the...

    Won a MEP-803A with trailer at auction - but how long will it take to get home?

    I brought a spare tire and compressor. And basically every tool I own - just in case. LOL.

    Won a MEP-803A with trailer at auction - but how long will it take to get home?

    The pics show the tires fully inflated and no visible weather damage. Before I left, I bought a spare tire off a local Craig's List guy.

    MEP-803A and trailer max road speed?

    More research says lug nut hex size is 22mm, but 7/8 is close. We'll see :)

    MEP-803A and trailer max road speed?

    Do you happen to know the lug nut size for a HMMWV? I'm assuming it's the same as this trailer since they both use the same 8 lug, 16.5 inch tire. And I'm bringing a spare HMMWV tire I bought, just in case. I just need to know what size socket to take.

    MEP-803A and trailer max road speed?

    Hi, I just bought one at auction and am leaving to tow it home. The data plate says the trailer is NSN 2330-01-387-5424, and the TM is TM 9-2330-392-14&P. The TM says max road speed is 55 MPH, but is that max rated speed underrated or realistic? I'm wondering if anyone has towed it faster...

    Won a MEP-803A with trailer at auction - but how long will it take to get home?

    Hi, I was the winning bidder of a combo MEP-803A on a NSN 2330-01-387-5424 trailer. I read the TM on the trailer (http://www.liberatedmanuals.com/TM-9-2330-392-14-and-P.pdf) and it says its top road speed is 55 MPH. Is that really the fastest I should drive with it, or is that only if the...

    Will M1102 fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood?

    Awesome. Thanks for the quick replies!

    Will M1102 fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood?

    Would the plywood extend past the tip of the down tailgate? I guess I'm trying to figure out how feasible it would be to haul 4x8 sheets without worrying about them falling off.

    Will M1102 fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood?

    Hi, I'm thinking of buying an M1102, but I'm wondering what the internal dimensions are between the wheel wells and front to back. Basically, could you fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood flat on the floor, while having the tail up and secured? TIA!
