Real AC power for our trucks

[EricBu12]

Found this site which has a small generator that runs off the PTO in the Transfercase. Pretty neat

I'd sell my Honda 5Kw to get that thing. It doesn't look like it's available yet for the Dodge. Any idea what it costs, installed? (No do it yourself option )

I wish someone would make an alternator replacement that simply fits in place of the stock one and includes a 240v A/C generator. I believe there's plenty of room for expansion there under the hood (unless you have Kilby's onboard air).



Also, the "Real Power" unit is only 12kW. I'd rather have 48kW with a continuous rating of at least 150 amp at 240 volts. Maybe I'm asking too much... but I always try to think big!



One other thing: I thought PTO ports were standardized. The NV5600 has 2 standard 6-bolt PTO ports, so any 6-bolt PTO accessory will bolt up to it. . no? If so, then why wouldn't any of the ones at Real Power bolt onto our trucks? I guess there could be clearance issues depending on other things that are in the way...

Interesting.



Another interesting option ... tee off the power steering pump? On edit... oops! Wrong type of device!!

I talked to real power about their set up. At the time (May) their SoCAl dealer was installing one in a 01 Dodge 2500 4x4 HO. Just what I have. The cost was 5200 and they will not sell kits to install yourself. I have been thinking about converting a tractor pto driven genset driven off the transmission.
