Don't want to rain on the parade either but used generators can be pretty cheap. I got one at a consignment sale for $90... Subaru engine, 7,000 peak watt, 5,500 running (don't recall the exact numbers). They couldn't get it started at the sale and I took a chance that it had just been sitting for a time (like my other one is usually). When I got it home I took the air cleaner off and squirted some ether in it and it fired right up and has run well since. I think I'm going to mount it on a small trailer I don't use otherwise, to drag it around the place where there is no power.

I say if it's a project that you want to do then go for it. "Perfect" plan or not I think most of us have not made every desicion based solely on the most logical or practical path. It is mildly disappointing to me to see such a large negative responce. As you mentioned there are advantages to a generator attachment. Odveously he knows he has another generator. He does not need you guys to to tell him he has generator and does not need another.

Wow. Thanks for telling everyone your feelings about a 4 month old post. We should all be ashamed for having an opinion. Our opinions are just as valid as yours. If not, that's kind of hypocritical, don't you think?
