I only gave $200.00 for the M/H so before I put $3000.00 in a generator I would buy a M/H with one already in it. I need to know what is best to seal the alum. roof to the sides as the owner before me has slopped some gray looking stuff on the edges,marker lights and siding.
Thanks
Jim

I am sorry but I cannot answer your question about the seals.

The previous owner of my CLASS C welded a platform on the bumper for the generator he purchased. Don't give up hope.



Here is the generator attached to it. I love my old Dodge and I am sure you will enjoy yours.

Champion Generator

EDIT: I can take a better closeup picture of the generator platform if needed.

I just crank start it up and go. The above ad says to call and get advice at (866-876-8073).

For some reason, my Photo Bucket account is not working. I am trying to use the RV.Net Community Photo account. The previous owner welded the platform to the rear bumper. I need to place a good coat or two of sealer paint on it.

I hope this works:

You should look on West Virginia CraigsList and search for a generator in your area.
