MEP-803A For Post-Hurricane Temp Power?

[Crapgame]

Between Harvey last week and Irma inbound this week, it has me thinking about buying a MEP-803A for use during post hurricane recovery ops until the power grid comes back on in Ft Walton Beach.

I think anyone who lives where hurricanes can land should seriously consider substantial backup power like an 803A.

Ditto

I picked up my 803a's after Hermine knocked us out for 5 days last year. Runs everything, AC/dryer/fridge/freezer, all of it.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Same here. After all the flooding in Texas you might want to have it as high as possible if your area is prone to that. I put mine on the ground but I have property up hill from a swampy area.

Or leave it on a trailer.

You live in FL and dont have a decent generator? Kinda late to find a well priced unit. Best to look post hurricane season.
Dont forget a few fuel cans to go along with the generator

I purchased mine this August 2017 from GP. Winters here in Michigan can leave us without power for an hour or days. Left mine on the trailer and parked it next to the house. Desert Sand actually matches my siding. So far, looks like it will run anything I want in the house. Good supply of diesel with an AG tank on the farm.

I have one too, the dual setup. Looks like we may be going to try it out here in the next few days...

Stay safe down there Russ.

Stay safe down there Russ.

Thank you sir. Looks like we'll be dealing with a Cat 1 when it gets up here. No problem. Those poor souls in South Florida are going to be devastated.

Well, better late then never. But you may not have enough money to buy one right now, other then if you live in Salt Lake City.
