Mention of a shipping container gives me an idea. I know that one of the local shipping container vendors routinely cuts up containers and welds the pieces back together to make different configurations. Maybe I could have them fabricate a 10' container, then cut in openings as needed for air in...

Rodents like to live inside my generator because of its ASK housing. Can rodents climb a vertical section of steel box tubing? If not, then it may help if I made a steel frame to lift my genset off the ground on legs of box tubing. I'd still need to do something to keep them from running along...

On a related topic, if I'm going to overhaul my generator and get it set up to backup-power my house, maybe I should give it a more permanent spot to live in to keep it out of the weather. So, do any of y'all have suggestions about how to construct some sort of shed that will: Keep the genset...

No, this one is still on my to-do list. I'm a lot better at starting projects than finishing them because I keep getting distracOH LOOK, A SQUIRREL! :) Thanks for reminding me of this thread. I was just thinking that I should get around to working on my MEP-003A again, and finally set things up...

LOL! I hope it works well, and I'll give you a call if I buy 99 more generators. And given my weakness for buying toys, I can't definitively rule that out. :mrgreen:

Thanks! I found the manufacturer's web site. Is it available in small quantity through distributors?

My house is a mobile, too (well, technically it's "manufactured housing" since it's bolted down, but it's still a doublewide). Lots of trouble with rodents in the crawl space. I should try mothballs under there, too. Maybe a crate of the danged things! Hmm, my whole house might end up smelling...

Thanks! I'll give the mothballs a try. I live in a rural area, and have constant problems with rodents in my equipment. I've also read about folks using pure peppermint oil as a repellant, especially in spots where the mothball smell would be offensive. How often do you need to replace the...

I have an MEP-003A genset with the Acoustic Suppression Kit (ASK). The ASK is an insulated enclosure that wraps around the genset, and quiets it down enough that you can approach to within 10 feet before putting on hearing protection, rather than hunkering down in a bunker a mile away crying...
