i too have a prodigy. check in the instructions because mine has to be level and in the direction of travel. it cant be sidways like the old ones. it has to be in the direction of travel but it doesnt have to be level. it can be mounted up to 70-some degrees from level. mine sits at about 45-50 right up against the bottom of the dash and it works just fine. .

ramman@dodgecity.cc wrote doggone langerhans you been looking at my resume im fcc-licensed mw guy myself farinon dvm6/45 and mitel-certified on phone systems. small world huh yep i got my first-phone back in 1967 my ee in 1972 and currently design comm systems including conventional trunked and cellular sites 911 call centers as well as big telephone switching and all the it networking stuff. just a couple of thoughts......im concerned about the suicide lugs approach. you need to plan the electrical loads for 1. what happens when the mains drop out 2. what happens in a brown out 3. what is the start-up load when connecting the genset 4. how you are going to provide essential power to certain things that are normally fed through a 3-phase 209vac distribution panel when your generator is a 2-phase 240vac device 5. what are the implications of inductive loads at both #1 & #3 6. what happens when the mains come back online and you want to switch back your gen will lose a backfeed battle with those mains. bigtime. 7. a 5kw genset is only good for 40a continuous if that. how are you gonna balance that load pray that the fishtank heater doesnt switch on at the same time as the furnace blower while your daughter is running her hairdryer despite the amusement claimed by others all this stuff is just basic safety. it seems like you understand but some of the kibitzers obviously dont. .

160 lbs dry henry forgot....9.0 hp recoil start...bought at home depot. henry after reading replies i had to laugh... folks had you pouring slabs... electric start....electric sub panels etc. i had a glancing blow and two back to back direct hits last year. after first hit i went to a big box store and bought a portable electric welder which also was a generator providing a single dual 120vac outlet and a single 220vac outlet 5500 watts surge 4000 watt continuous. 125 amp stick welder....4 stroke gas robins subaru power plant. it did nicely for me....about same needs as you stated cept a side by side fridge/freezer combo. a little less than 1gal/hr. the problem was gas.... couldnt be bought since after the first one to a couple weeks after third....the ole dodge pu truck was my gas station. made by lincoln electric... model is powerarc 5500. it weighs a little over 120 lbs if i recall and cost me $650 i think. henry sorry for the ot post but figured this group if any might have the answers. am looking for a portable standby generator about 5kw. can anyone here recommend a specific **brand** or maybe suggest a specific brand to **avoid** living down in hurricane country texas gulf coast and so far in 18 years have never needed one. figure im pushing my luck and am thinking about one in the 5kw size range enuf to run fridge & deep freeze a few small wattage flourescent replacement lamps + tv and satellite rcvr prolly a fan or two. realize i cannot afford something the size that would pull our central ac. also what about fuels gasoline would ordinarily seem easiest to obtain and therefore most logical but what about natural gas not propane w/gasoline youd be constantly running out to purchase more else stick a georgia credit card in your vehicle tank. 5kw genset consumes between gal and 1 gal gasoline per hour depending on load. how much line pressure would it take for a ng powered genset im leaning toward gasoline but thought id ask. locally available brands & engines onan cummins troy-built briggs & stratton coleman honda honda honda thanks .
