Generator trailers

[scrapdaddy]

Question on the Generator trailers, I did some searching but didn't come up with anything. I want to learn about them. Are there different sizes. What would be a good set for running a house in a power failure, I'm sure this has been talked about before, any good links or search suggestions. Thanks in advance. Ron

Many like the mep002(5kw) or mep003(10kw). Decide what you want to run and see how much current it needs. Then size your genny accordingly.

Robb, on the Mep003 is that a set of generators or just one. 10 kw would be plenty for a house. Diesel?

 

[gimpyrobb]

Yup, single unit, 4cyl diesel. They are under rated at 10kw.

Thank you, just did a search on the Mep003 and didn't come with much. Know of any good reading on these.

I have an M116 A 1 1/4 ton that I believe had 2 1.5 KWs on it but I use it for hauling wood. Made stake sides for it also. Added surge brakes
