Aux Gen Sets

[binkleylane]

I have seen alot of ads for aux gen/ heating and cooling ect. sets.
Thinking about adding one to my "D" unit and need to know whats out there and whats worth while. I have heard both good and bad... you know the routine. So... the question is whos using what and what kind of results/ service are you getting.

Thanks in advance.

I have a Rigmaster on my truck. The performance has been outstanding.
It is a stand alone unit and I think it runs quieter than the OX.
I have had no problems with it since installed (2 years )The times that I have need advice for things, (like when I changed the fuel filter and air locked the engine) I called their service dept and they walked me thru the steps to resolve the problem.
I have read and heard some negative things about the OX, the biggest complaint was service not being available.

This is basically a ditto to Crazy's posting- The Rigmaster blows the Onnan Aux away. Rigmaster is powered by a little water cooled diesel, not a gas lawn tractor engine like Aux. It costs about $7200 installed, but definitely pays for itself over the life of the truck, esp. if you stay out for long periods of time. Heats, cools, and keeps the truck's batteries charged and can heat the truck engine block too. It is also remarkably lightweight for what it does (450lb) so it won't kill you on the scales. It has a sleeper mounted control panel.

one more thing a genset (most) in 24 hours burn 3 gal's of fuel
in stead of 1/2 gal to 1.5 gals per hour and one hour of idel time is = to 50 miles of running down the road, so it's 36 gals of fuel in
24 hours or 3 gal's in 24, take a weekend in north at -20 or in south
80 or higher and how much fuel is that going up in somke
