I'm at the tail end of the line in the power grid. I, and my neighbors are the
first to lose power and the last to get restored in an outage. I cringe with
every storm.

My idea is to install another breaker box and reroute a few lighting circuits,
TV, phone and a room air conditioner. During an outage I would throw the
breaker in the main box that feeds the secondary as to isolate it then fire up
the generator and feed the secondary box. I'm guessing that 5kw will do the
job. I'd like to run it on natural gas. Is there a good website that focuses
on such projects?

Ive got a nice minty US surplus trailer mounted diesel genny available
for shipment to you if you want one. Client bought it, had it
professionally converted to use standard over the counter filters etc
etc and never used it.

I think its 45kw, is 60 cycle, with outputs for 120vac, 240 3p and 460
3ph

I think I can get it for $7k, plus shipping from Arizona
