1997 Ford Falcon add a generator
Anyone know if it is feasable to add a generator to a 1997 Ford Falcon? I know, I know, they are only made to 1996.... But the guy swears it is a 1997. It has the tub/tiolet in the rear but instead...

Adding a genset can cost about $4500, since it needs a tee off the vehicle's fuel tank, and a transfer switch between it and shore power. It also may need some custom fab work.
For an onboard genset, installation is everything. There can be 10-20 decibels of difference between a properly installed Onan and one just chucked in a bay.
As an alternative, you can get a 3000 watt Honda or Yamaha with remote start. It won't be able to use the gas tank like an Onan nor be hooked up to an energy controller to auto-charge batteries when they drop below 12 volts, but it is about 85% of the convenience factor of an onboard.
