I am familiar with the long-ranger. It's a great idea.
For those of you wondering.... the propane generator I have has a 212cc engine displacement. That sounded like a good size to me. I always hear about how efficient the 250cc motorcycles are. Of course, they are also a LOT lighter than my car.
However, the RAV4 electric is heavier than Electro-Metro.
In the photos of the Long-Ranger trailer, it also shows that it has a liquid cooling radiator system.
My generator is simply air-cooled. (Less weight without the radiator!)
I think I should be able to mount the genset right onto the back of the car. That would eliminate the need for trailer tires (more rolling resistance!)
The car's suspension is already modified for additional weight - I would just need some solid connection points for the generator and some sort of quick-release mechanism for removal.
