MEP-1030 5kW generator is the military's currently deployed model generator. It's pretty nice with a three cylinder diesel engine, 1800 RPM, liquid cooled, and a ton of features. They are expensive and harder to find. Thanks to my friend, Chris, I was able to test one on camera for this channel.
Let's see how fuel efficient this generator is at recharging a large off grid battery bank. Usually off grid people (me included) use solar for supplying their power needs, but sometimes the sun doesn't shine. It's nice to have a fuel efficient generator for helping out.
