    Wondering if anyone out there knows a good generator for a plug up truck that's relatively cheap that are the runs on diesel or solar that I can probably fit behind my truck

    You can buy ones like mine all day long for about 500 bucks with keyless remote start .
    About as noisy as the average carrier reefer .
    Mounted on the deck plate behind the cab .
    Got 500 hours on mine now and it purrs away every nite .
    Run synthetic oil in it and change it every 120 hours with a fluid pump no muss no fuss takes about 15 mins .
    If it blows up so what go get a new one .
    I smile Everytime I walk to a gas pump .
