Here is a 20% I hope someone can use CARBNHDWRM788E1

Id vote Hobart if you are on a budget.

811 won't necessarily tell you where your utilities are, only the utility companies infrastructure which is generally pre meter.

Echo is a great budget saw.

A lot of it is due to the oil tank becoming pressurized from temp fluctuations. The looser the tolerance on the pump, the worse it will leak. Drain tank prior to storage, that goes for fuel as well.

In my experience metric u cups are almost always exclusively used in modern equipment. All hydraulic equipment i have ever repaired with the exception of ORB and ORFS orings were all metric.

Interesting. I didn't think that far ahead regarding RV units. I always associated them as being propane loud air cooled units and forgot that diesel pushers can use diesel powered units.

Sounds fair. Just got a quote here in Montana for a 40x48x14 DIY kit. 1 12 foot roll up and 1 12 foot slider, no windows. 32k for just the materials.

The whole LiFePO4 industry reminds me of snake oil sellers and gimmick devices to increase fuel mileage by 25%. Its too new and too many new players all relying on foreign components and technology. Just gives me a bad vibe

I agree, looking to go with kubota, perkins/cat, yanmar or Mitsubishi and Isuzu powered units. What kind of features should I be looking for or be concerned with regarding the generator head?

On the idea of a light plant. I am checking out auctions for a potential purchase of a known good unit. If nothing else it will provide shore power for construction tools since most of my construction/wood working tools are not cordless and I don't want the expense of going all cordless...

My budget has to include building a home, some iteration of a shop, power generation, well and septic. I realize to have a power generation system that covers all my scenarios would probably be 50k, which I cannot afford in one shot. So I will have to prioritize the generator and battery bank...

I intend on using batteries from Rolls, rather give the Canadians my money than the Chinese. They off 6v batteries that specifically state 80% discharge. This is potentially what I intend to use.

The upfront cost of any lthium type battery is a non starter for me. Maybe down the road but it certainly isnt in the cards right now and I'm not necessarily sold on the technology. I have no doubt they are superior in some regards but they are relatively new technology almost all of them made...

Awesome, thanks for the validation

Thanks for that input. I may integrate a light plant into the equation if it checks all the boxes. I'm a big fan of kubota engines myself though most of my experience is with the wg gas powered versions. Wet stacking is a concern and a big reason I dont want to go too big on generator size. The...

We are on the same page. Batteries will most likely be Crown or Rolls. It seems tempting to do LiFePO4 but the high initial expense for commercially assembled batteries is retarded. I'm also not real keen on building a battery bank with raw cells from China or much of anything from China for...

No, I will be using a standard electric fridge, maybe even a smaller unit and convert a chest freezer to a fridge for less used items.

I usually work out in the sticks on BLM land. My travel trailer is currently set up with 2 100lb tanks which can last anywhere from 2 weeks to a month for each tank depending on temperature.

Cant see how the cistern would run out of water. A well would supply the cistern on demand with a float switch. Water will be consumed faster than it would likely "spoil" but filtration would be used regardless and I like the idea of a uv treatment. Thanks
