Can you give more detail on how you set up your generator in the front compartment?
How you mounted it
Do you run the power cable to it or have it permanently wired?
how did you handle the exhaust
how you sound proofed it
Thanks for any information you can give

"We are talking about a MINIMUM of four series/parallel six volt golf cart batteries, no more than 2' of #1/0 copper cable (3,000 watt inverters use twin cables for each pole) and the batteries floating at around 6.6 volts each to provide 13.2 volts series/parallel. Note this is an additional 350 pounds of dead weight to carry in the trailer not including the inverter and vented case for the batteries."
*Well, no problem there...I already have six Energizer GC-2's installed as a battery bank(675 total amp hrs) inthe rear of my MH. All fused at 150 amp/pair, wired in series/parallel with 4 gauge for 12 volt power. The longest run being 2'leading from battery terminals of each pair to power distribution blocks, ready for 2' of 1/0 wire to install the inverter of choice.
-Hmmm....$400 for a decent AIMS #PWRINV5000W modified sine wave with a 5000 continous and 10,000 watt peak/surge. (which might mess with my radio reception and LCD tv working properly...)
(or)
-$474 for a Sunforce# 112460 pure sine wave with a 2500 continous and 5000 peak/surge.
