Read the EMP commission reports from 2002 and 2011. the 2002 report (published in 03 or 04) tested over 300 different vehicles (cars, trucks, tractors, etc) in a simulator. Engine was running and all electronics were on. in the 02 tests, 60 percent suffered NO damage, 30 percent the engines...
We got 180 degree temps on a black seat over a weekend in April when we were testing some early laptops for use in the company service trucks. The computers were supposed to be able to handle 190, they didn't. BTW, SC gets a lot hotter than what we have in April - July and August are usually...
The extra money buys you twice the capacity (and twice the fuel expense to run) so load management would be easier. But if your stove and hot water are using natural gas or propane, the smaller gen's would be ok.
I have not done any of the lifting part since I got the short ladder. I strained my back 'lifting' an 11 year old 'boy' out of my deuce - he weighed more than I did - imagine a 175 pound sack of potatoes being dropped into your arms. Nevermore, I have a ladder, if they cannot climb up and...

L-o-o-o-o-n-g time ago there was a map function here on SteelSoldiers, back in the day you HAD to put your city and state (in the USA) as part of your signature line. Have you looked in the forum South Eastern US Chapter for North Carolina?
And THOSE combat rims really didn't have much to do if the tire got penetrated - they were solid rubber inside. Our group helped out the Ft. Jackson Museum 'swap out' all the tires on their static display venicles and that's what we found on the front of the scout car.
