So I bought three 5000 watt 240v heaters from Amazon. I went with these because they were only $65 at the time.

But, they are chinesium. So just search for whatever is cheapest as they are all the same. I then bought a hand truck from Harbor Freight, welded up a gram from 1” x 1/8” mild steel. I still need to complete the wiring to make connecting to the generator fast and easy. Gonna make a trip to Home Depot today. When I got the heaters, I had not considered putting them on a cart like this and wired them up via a knockout on the side As that was the most direct route to the connections inside. But I would use the rear knockout if I were to do it again as it will make it easier to remove a unit to service or replace it.
