floatncoffee this is an Onan alot of vans use http://www.generatorjoe.net/product.asp?0=250&1=252&3=960 it also says its Kabota??? is this the unit you have Moto?
Greg41 Thanks for the info Ryan and Moto. very much appreciated. Darn expensive little buggers though.
blanyon Yeah I have a kubota, some modifications required however as its not designed for installation in a van. Greg41 expensive yes but they are the heart and soul of your operation, no workie no coffee no money!
Greg41 Agreed Moto. I see on ebay there is a company selling5 and 6 Kva Ducar gensets. Ducar claim to be "one of the largest and reputable manufacturer in china. In 2001 initiated a joint venture with Honda to develop engines and share technology." all sounds good. People are picking them up for from 250 to 700 bucks on auction! They have 10 amp sockets though. You have to wonder though. whats your thoughts.
blanyon I go back to a saying about motorbike helmets "If you buy a $100 helmet then you have a $100 head!" I would steer clear because a 5-6 kva generator that costs 700 dollars will break down or won't be up to spec or something of the sort. Then you have spare parts backup etc. When you are at a festival etc and you are finally making some money you want trouble free operations!!!! Anyway that is just my opinion, the reference to helmets might be a bit out there but I hope you get my point. Finally started doing some decent latte art this morning!! Blew people away don't think you generally get it in Wagga.
Greg41 Yeah now and again i can pull off a decent latte art and it does still amaze the country folk. even the city folk travelling through.
