Generator side box

Kohler Diesel 6,500 Watt Diesel Generator

Ha, wasn't Florida, but here you go. Little pricey but would be all you needed. No more toting fuel cans.

 

CentralMaineDiesel.com has a selection of both gas and diesel generators.
(I have no connection to them and do not have their products. Another driver mentioned getting one of their small diesel generators and an external tank.)

 

That seems pretty legit!

 

I swear some of y'all come up with the oddest stuff. Worry about generator noise but a reefer unit running full blast next to you is no big deal. Exhaust fumes could be a concern, I get that. I go out of my way a lot to park away from other trucks, so if some idiot parks next to me when I get my gen. installed, then I can't be responsible for them.

As far as mounting, find a good metal fabrication shop near you and have them design/build you a mount and cover (removable). Or you could find an upholstery shop or tarp/awning place to make you a soft cover out of heavy tarp material.

Im gonna do a 2k watt Predator for the winter, then upgrade to the 3500 watt one before next summer when I install a rooftop ac unit.

 

Here's my box and stack. Might give you some ideas.

 

Saw an ad on Monday from a bloke with an Indian name advertising on kijiji in Brampton, plenty of pics of his designs that look pretty nice. Didn't notice prices but seemed to know his stuff. Ad was in section on generators.

 

Nice with an air gap to help lean out exhaust gases.

 

This looks great!

 

I bought this off Craigslist. It’s a vented generator box. I think they’re about $600. Top opens, then the whole front opens. I forget the name, but if you’re interested I’ll let you know. You’ll have to reinforce it, or build a frame to side mount it.
