So the conversations function on this site isn't very friendly to posting pics, and I'm going to just do it here instead because someone else might have a similar question about them.
The question had to do with DRASH trailers and fuel tank.
The model in question comes up in the HDT GLOBAL website as the 35k GET

A picture of what one looks like from the auction site. This isn't mine, but just to show here what it was like.
55 gallon fuel tank, running the entire length of the chassis. As far as I know this is the only model of DRASH trailer that had this large of a fuel tank.
This is a 3 ton Nordic Air ECU and an MEP-802A. There is a 6" C channel frame under the gen to raise it up just high enough for the doors to open on the other end. The 803 would be too long to mount like this; it would need to be raised higher and sit on top of the fenders. Without my C-channel frame there would be nothing to support the gen, as it's completely open between the frame rails (as seen in earlier pics)
it tows pretty nicely. According to the scales it's about 3600 lbs including the tent currently on the back (which is in the 600-800 lb range I think). Tongue weight is a couple hundred or so.
Being used last year at out PNW Steel Soldiers Rally here in Washington with another of the group's Base-X tent. It did great running the 3 ton ECU all weekend long, and fuel use wasn't bad (about 1/3 gallon per hour)
on a related note, anyone up near Western Washington that doesn't know about it (it's posted in the facebook page for us here) we do the rally every summer (mid July) and everyone is welcome with their rigs, so let me know or get into the PNW Steel Soldiers facebook page.
