    MEP 002 for home backup?

    Wow, I wish they sold for that around here....I'd already have 2 or three! I'm checking GL, CL, Ebay and the forum classified in hopes of a good generator. I think I'll go for either the 002 or 003, whichever fits the bill when I find it.

    MEP 002 for home backup?

    Thanks, good information. My power was out for 4 days and we lost most of our basement. We definitely need a generator soon! I'll keep a look out for both generators, as they both would fit the bill the save the house and keep it liveable. I'll pass the info onto my dad, as it seems...

    MEP 002 for home backup?

    MEP 002 for home backup?

    I'm not sure what the tonnage is. It is a carrier weathermaker and it says the compressor is a 1/5 HP and that the entire system is 220V and says system minimum current is 20.2 Amps. But based on the amp rating of the generator this should be fine. Will

    MEP 002 for home backup?

    Hello. I have been interested in a military generator for a while now. Through my research, it seems that the 5kw MEP 002 is the right one for me. It would be running at a pretty high load, so it would avoid wet stacking as would a higher rated unit may (like an MEP 003). Are my ideas correct...
