brake controller mounting

From : nathan w collier

Q: sould mount it on one side or the other any pictures of your controllers mounted i mounted mine on the knee bolster panel just to the right of the steering wheel. i put it on the right side so i didnt inadvertently bang it with my knee/leg upon entry. i also chose to put it on the knee panel so that if i somehow screwed it up the panel could be easily replaced it comes off with two screws on the bottom. others have removed the ash tray and mounted it in there. if you have the center cubby hole it could be mounted there as well. you can mount it temporarily with double-sided tape or velcro if youre using the pocket mount to make sure its where you want it/easily reachable/readable while driving. once youre happy with the placement drill the holes. .

how much do you want to spend i bought and installed a 15kw generac unit last year for the same reason north carolina and the unit was about $3200.00 and comes with an automatic transfer switch 12 breaker. i was also considering a portable but figured that if i was away when it was needed my wife wouldnt be able to hook it up. another problem is that if there is a massive power failure the gas stations cant pump and i dont like the idea of keeping 15 or 20 gallons of gas around. mine runs on propane since that is what we have here no ng in the area but it is capable of running on either one with minor adjustments. if i was going to run it on ng it would only be capable of producing 12kw and in that case i would have probably just bought the 12kw unit for around $2600 and saved myself some money. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving 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 .

do you have a single red led lit up even when nothing is plugged in my power button is crooked and im just wondering if its broken. i wont have anything to pull to test it with until the 6th when my trailer arrives. -- nathan w. collier http//7slotgrille.com http//utilityoffroad.com 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. .
