I ran 3x4awg for L1, L3, N. Used 6awg for gnd. All copper. The 6awg saved a little money, I think I was about 25'. You can go smaller, but you just spent north of 1k, minimum, on the generator, why cheap out on the install?- lonesouth

I used 4awg for the hots and neutral, and 6awg for the ground. Depending on run length you may need to size up.- lonesouth

I would add that a bumper on the rear would provide better protection for the generator and a set of fenders to prevent the tires from kicking water/dirt onto the generator would be worth looking into. Nice work BTW.- lonesouth

Great post! Looks like you painted it in place. Any tips on that? Did you spray or brush, tape off the inlets, etc? Also, I've seen a few ask, but didn't catch the answer, what size breaker are you running this to?- lonesouth
