Or you can be a puss like Steve O, and get a fu#4ing whimpy a$$ rigmaster :roll:[/quote]

That dang Steve, he has all the toys...

I appreciate the comments and ideas gents. I believe this idea has potential, and I would go so far as to get a fixed gas tank and mount that between the main rails on my trailer to make it happen. Dunno how to figure out the electric fuel pump you'd need, but I bet it can be done! :?

It easy flyer,...just find out how much fuel psi the genny you want runs on, and then get an electric unit that is close,....put on a regulator, and run it till you figure out where to set the regulator at.
I had an old 280z that was fuel injected. I took off the injection system and put on 3 side draft carbs,...it took some time to figure out the correct fuel psi,..but after that is was trouble free, for 50,000miles,....till I sold it anyway.

I wasn't expecting that. Got a good laugh.

Hello Mountain Flyer

I used a 5000watt coleman gas gen that was mounted on my cat walk for the last 3 years before I came over here and never had any problems with it or with the DOT over it. But like they said it was noisy !!! When I come back home next year it will go in a bax I had made for it and I will pipe the exhaust through the truck exhaust as well. If I was going to do it all again I would buy a diesel gen out of a place in LA that sells them for about 1000$ for a 6500 watt gen then put it in a box on the frame n tie in a line to the truck tank on a small fuel pump with a remote start. I also had a big inverter and used it a lot but here again I will change things and set it up on it's own deep cycle batt that recharge when the truck is running. Household electric in the sleeper opens up a lot of option for you and very quickly pays for it's self. Refrigerator --George Foreman Grill--Coffee Pot--Slow cooker--Electric Skillet ect ect ect just like being at home. Good Luck to you and stay safe !!!!

they make a small fuel pump for racing go karts works off vacume from the engine would be perfect for a generator.but a better idea would to buy one of the small quiet generators that runs on diesel.it would last much longer and can be plummed into the trucks tank.i got mine off e bay less then 800 shipped to me 6500 wattsvery quiet with electric start and remote start unit.

Don't forget most block heaters draw closer to 1800 watts and the small space heaters for inside the bunk can draw as much as 1500 watts. I ran a 2600 watt Yamaha campground model for a few years and never had a problem with the DOT. Mine was in a ventilated box so most people never knew I even had one. If you're going to run it in the summer you'll have to vent it really well. If I was doing it know I would probably get one of those cheap chinese diesel ones too.

in front of you and ashca, do you have any brand name or company links for the units you have? those sound good...

I'LL look n see if I can find the name n number for you Mountain Flyer.

i dont know the name just search on e bay for diesel generator there are a bunch on there.

Here's a link to some low cost diesel gens with elec start:
