Yea Kurt that's where I got one a year or so ago , looks just like this one & works perfectly. The ones shown now are a little shorter ,no jiggler and are iffy on temperature.
I've been through this with my 69 firebird, junk thermostats won't run near advertised temperature.
Trailer
I agree with Coug, that trailer's too narrow, it would be pretty top heavy and if tires failed on one side it probably roll over.
Search your local sales for a used trailer. I picked up a 4x8 harbor freight folding trailer for $100.
Bolted it together permanently (non folding) welded...
It doesn't require a massive trailer, if you don't plan to hook onto it and haul ass off-road or across country. I found a used harbor freight folding 4x8 trailer on FB for $100, bolted it together permanent(non folding) welded 2 6"x8' sheets of 3/16 steel on top, this really stiffened up the...
Yes ,do add the MOV, cheap insurance.

Welcome Wills,
We're nearly neighbors, I'm in Summerfield. Nice looking 803, I have one as well along with a 831a, & going to Pa. Next week to pick up a pair of 802s on a trailer. Make sure your gen has the quad fuse mod.
Peace Brian
Welcome bubba,
A couple of questions:
Where's the power meter to the home? Most, not saying all, but most have power meter, A/C, (utilitys) in a side of the home with no Windows. That would be optimum location for the gen set.
Be aware of your local codes on backup generators. "Fixed" units...
Yeah find a better cheap used stove. Mine will bring my 803 right up to about 90%, add a fan and space heater ,takes it over 100.
My 803 will start my antique 3 ton ac no problem. It must have a hard start kit ,looking at the LRA of my ac.
P.s. Hope your fairing well as Dorian is upon you...
I think if there's enough wind to move a ton of machine & trailer , the house will be gone as well, or damaged too bad to power hardwired. I kept it mobile.
Just my opinion.
Peace Brian
I picked up my 803 Dec "17" , has pulsetech , I put 2 cheap wal-mart group 26 batterys to it and it's started every time. It only gets an hour or 2 of direct sunlight a day and batterys are always 25v.
