Well I decided my 17.5kw generator is too big to move around by its self.
The main structure is all junk I had laying around. The springs axle, tires, aluminum tool box (not shown yet) and trailer tongue are off my ultimate 2,500lb capacity car trailer upgrade build. The big C channel cross member is a scrap piece of a metal building and the angle is salvage off another trailer.
The frame is a piece of about 1/4 of a trailer project I abandoned in 2013 because it wasn't going to be big enough and I just didn't think it was going to be strong enough.
All the little left over pieces get saved if I think they can be reused later on or go to the scrap yard to get recycled.
The 4 inch stainless steel pipe is just there to help me find the balance point to help decide where to center the axle.
This size generator isn't necessarily for an electric vehicle since it could easily power two level II chargers. But the idea is the same. I made it wider for stability since the fuel tank holds 13 gallons of gas and is on top, making it potentially more top heavy than what I would like to see. The deck of the trailer will be a little longer than what is needed for additional fuel cans, maybe a fuel tank later on.
For an electric vehicle tow behind generator a smaller one could be used, on a shorter narrower trailer that is lower to the ground.
If money is no object for 2x to 4x the money you could get a diesel powered generator and run bio diesel.
I will likely cover the whole thing with a 120 to 250 watt solar panel on a hinge, add a larger group 31M AGM battery for starting and to power a pure sine wave inverter later on.
Since I will be moving in the next few months I didn't want to move the generator and left over trailer pieces I had laying about. I figured I should combine them into one functional unit sooner rather than later.
