Sort of OT... Generator in a Sprinter

[pjcampbell]

I am looking into a business opportunity that would require me to be able to power a lot of electrical items in a sprinter. FWIW it is an electrical oven. Does anyone know if they make any sort of ones that integrate with the Sprinter? I am looking at 5000+watts and 220v, so I am pretty sure an inverter is out of the question.

Talk to some RV places about how they might integrate into a Sprinter, and for further contacts on who and how, and take a look at Onan generators. Your fuel options are propane, gasoline and diesel. Diesel will be the more robust generator, last the longest, weigh the most and cost the most.

At one point Truckgen in FL was doing Sprinter genterators.

They use to have a building in Jacksonville, but the are now in Ft. Myers. My last visit there in Fort Meyers they were doing them. That was last year.

Idlebusters is doing a Sprinter generator. It's the same thing as the TruckGen, pretty much. It's a nice setup, but ya still gotta crawl up on the roof to change the oil and add water to the cooling tank thingy. It uses that small Kubota engine. Even with the dampening, it's pretty loud, tho.

You think?

High speed engine on a roof of a tin can, yep pretty loud!

The one truckgen was doing was under the vehicle behind the rear wheels. It had a access door from inside for service. They actually had one several years ago at the expo when it was in Detroit.
