Have’t found any pricing, but haven’t looked hard.
When the power is out for two weeks due to a hurricane or ice storm.... nope I wouldn’t mind at all
Being so rural a whole house generator is tricky, but everyone has diesel storage.

That panel box is industrial. It’s steel. You can go stainless but the price is high. You can go NEMA 4x, but that’s more expensive. You can go waterproof cam locks and add more bucks to the cost. We use stainless NEMA 4x boxes with cam locks in our Water Reclamation facilities. The application is 480 3 phase connection to a 25 ton portable a/c unit.

Hindsight is 20/20 ain't it. I saw that a while back but I really did not like how far the gear box hung down. I think that setup really belongs on a much larger truck. Anyway, I love having capability so I get all of the heavy duty options and a vinyl floor and this time all the fancy widgets too.

8 years ago it was $5k for 12kw
you certainly don't need a 6L v8 to drive a 12kw power head.
Our motor coach has an Onan 10kw diesel gen and uses a small 3cyl Isuzu (aka yanmar) and sips less than a quart an hour on average....Ive run it nearly 3 days straight and didn't use 15 gallons.

True Didn't think of that I live in socal so don't have to worry about that often, only during earthquakes. I was in the rv thought sine the junction box has both 30 amp and 50 amp outlets.

But I like backups to my backups ! And it would be another notch in my belt for an ongoing "how much can you outdo each other" thing a buddy and I've had for the last 25 years LOL
Forget that most folks here have the SD for RVing. Mine is mostly farm and equipment towing.

Am sure there are better options... but redundancy would be cool if the cost wasn't so stupid high.

May revisit that with an actual local propane company when I build the barn for the truck.
Going to take me years to rotate all the stored gasoline now that the F-150 is gone.... and also considering a diesel genset.
