  1. American Patriot 1960

    MEP 701A, MEP 831A or ???

    They are selling on that "E" site for $1,200 to about $3k. I may look into that government surplus site to see about getting one but I know those can be somewhat of a crap-shoot getting a decent one or a huge paperweight. A DIY remote set up I can fully fabricate in a professional looking way...
  2. American Patriot 1960

    Main problem with RV units, especially Diesel ones is the cost. Even used, a fairly recent model in decent contrition is pretty expensive. I have seen some very old ones (parts availability?) for over $1,000. The more current models are running $3-5k I'm actually watching one (2011 Cummins...
  3. American Patriot 1960

    MEP 701A, MEP 831A or ???

    That's pretty much what I was thinking. I'm pretty good at installing wiring and making it look factory with all the proper crimp terminals, routing, chafe protection and so forth. Does not look that hard to just tap into the needed controls at the back of the main panel there and run the...

    OK, 701 is loud and parts are getting hard to find. 701 is out. 831 remains alone in the field and seems to be the choice unless someone has a better alternative suggestion.

    Chainbreaker, Thanks for that. I did start reading the first few pages of that post and intend to get back to finish it when I have a little time to do so. This may be premature (pending on what that thread says about the remote start) but does anybody have info on this? Is/was it a kit? Are...

    I need some advise from some of you that have far more experience with these generators than I have, (Which is almost none). I drive a 18 wheeler for a living. I need to mount a generator on my truck. I do not want a gasoline unit, I want diesel. Noise is an issue so it must be something with...
