I also found this diesel generator.
Super Quiet Long Run 6 kW Diesel Generator
That must be some kind of Chinese engine in that because the price is only 2475. It's nice because everything is enclosed and looks like it would be weatherproof and it's small enough to put on the catwalk.
I don't think it would be as easy on fuel though as the gasoline generators.

I ended up using some paracord that I got at wally and it seems to be a lot more abrasion resistant. I'd go ahead and replace the crappy rope it comes with before you even put it on the truck. -

Vampire Thanks this. -
One other important thing I’ll add. Please ensure you have a CO detector in the bunk.
Keep us posted. I’d like to see your setup when you’re done.Dino soar Thanks this. -
°°°°**** IMPORTANT NOTICE ****°°°°°
when installing a generator on the catwalk.....move the catwalk as far FORWARD as possible..... and move the hitch back then SLOWLY turn and check the clearance...
As to the pull cord #1 I can still reach it.
#2 if I need to use it it's time to replace the generator... the battery is charged the it's running and its running every day or 2 so if it doesn't turn over something it wrong...
In the pic you can see how far I moved the catwalkAttached Files:

I suggest you use the money you'd spend on this setup as a down payment on a brand new apu then pay 350 a month for two years. Buy the extended warranty.
