Trailer Mounted Power Solution

I'll take one, although 16 kW is probably just a little overkill for my purposes.

Hey BTW @BTPost, thx for the pointer on the availability of used Onan diesel gensets. Always wanted a lo speed (1800 rpm) diesel generator. But one look at a the price of a new 5 kW and I choked. Never thought about a used one.

So now I'm checking the local craigslist from time to time. There are Onan gensets, (propane and gasoline), but so far no diesel. Only been looking a week or so since your post on the subject. Checking every few days will probably yield results. One or two of the used Onans being offered were in junked out RVs (no diesels). Since most of the larger RVs are diesel, so should be the generators.

 

Did this with my homebuilt....

 

I have been recommending trailer mounted units for years. I started 35 years ago or more building the trailer and the solar right into it as well as adding the 6500 watt diesel gen and my welder as well .
The wind mill I added just a few years ago. I don't really get enough wind to justify it, but having moved several times you never know what you'll get the nest place you move to.
Last few years the wind has risen so I'm hopeful.
There is an antenna mast in the picture behind the wind mill so don't confuse it .
Below the sand blast cabinet, is a filter I built for the blast cabinet , seems to work pretty good .
Behind the switch panel is MY charge controller/Automotive voltage regulator. set to top out at 14.8. I have a pot for fine tuning when batteries get old or I add another panel ect.
Sorry for the mess , I have no excuse except that there is so much to do and it's easy to get distracted around here.

 

Altoidfishfins, the Onan gas units are 1800rpm as well, for the most part.
