    Won a MEP-803A on a Trailer

    I picked it up today and drove back home. 18 hour round trip. I live in northern Idaho but thanks for the offer. Help is Always appreciated. Wish I was closer. I had no problems with the trailer at all. Hubs stayed cool and it tracked great. The tires are in great shape and did excellent...

    Won a MEP-803A on a Trailer

    One of the reasons I opted for (kept an eye out for) the 803 was the "Q" in the TQG. I had a chance at a 003 but it was further away and I really wanted it a bit quieter. The 803 have been around for a good long time now. Long enough to workout most of the bugs. One of the other reasons was...

    Won a MEP-803A on a Trailer

    Jimbo, I forgot about the baseboard heaters. I never use them. The vacuum is a good idea as well. I don't have a A/C unit. I was old you don't need one up here. LIARS, all of them! LOL. Just kidding. While you don't NEED one. It sure would be nice to have. I am going to get one...

    Won a MEP-803A on a Trailer

    Chris gave me the links to the TMs. I have already downloaded them and am going over them. Chris, thanks for a breakdown on how the different appliances rate and how they may affect the generator. It is nice to have an idea on what to expect for the differing loads. I never looked at what...

    Won a MEP-803A on a Trailer

    Guyfang, a list would definitely be nice. The gen doesn't look like it has any wet stacking going on but the plan is to give it a good test anyway. I wasn't sure how many hours to run it for a test so thanks. I figured around three or four would do it.

    Won a MEP-803A on a Trailer

    I have a stove. The oven is electric but the burners are gas. I am sure I can find enough stuff to put a proper load on the generator though. It's just a learning curve. Having never done this I figured I would ask. I am sure I could do it but rather than making a costly mistake, I ask the...

    Won a MEP-803A on a Trailer

    I think the house testing is a good idea but I would need to waste a lot of water to get my well pump to kick in. I have a decent sized water storage tank. And, how would I get the hot water heater to kick-on right when I need it? I guess I could turn the hot water heater off for awhile prior...

    Won a MEP-803A on a Trailer

    It's funny, around here all I get is, "yeah, go ahead that off-road stuff it won't hurt nothin. Been doing it for years!". Mostly from the farm and construction guys. They know it's not legal, and so do I, but it seems common amongst the locals. Thanks for the warnings.

    Won a MEP-803A on a Trailer

    Thank you MUCH for the TM links Howdy. I noticed the fresh green paint on the filter as well. That is one of the reasons I decided to bid more than what I first expected to bid. After reading through a bunch of these generator threads and looking at the pictures I figured it was a good one...

    Won a MEP-803A on a Trailer

    I was wondering if that was what it was. I will check on the backside to see if there are outlets/connections when I pick it up.

    Won a MEP-803A on a Trailer

    As stated, won a generator today. I paid more than I wanted but between the trailer and the genset I am happy. The power went out here twice last month. Once for over a day and the other for about 7 hours so I decided to get a generator. We just moved up here so I imagine this happens...
