Probably be great for a household, or vacation home standby generator, or even for a big RV.

Naw, it's too big, is my point, regardless of what it's attached to. You do this kind of calculation backward, figure out how many KW/hrs you require, then how big a gen head to get those numbers, then how big (small) and engine to fit to do the job. For the above mentioned tasks, 2-5 kw, perhaps 250-500 cc engine... Got one 5k gen powerd by a 5 hp B&S (don't know the displacement), and another powered by a 440cc diesel single...The little Deutz engine runs a 120v single phase gen head, the B&S does single phase 120 or 240..

I agree exactly with you design idea. No idea how to compare reefer output to KW, KW/hrs, which would imply the thing is driving generator, not a reefer..
No worries, I get days like that too...

Could you please expand upon your claims/ideas. I mean these things spend months on container ships at constant revs and are designed for the volume entailed. 2-5 kw would depend on the size of the area to be accomodated and of course the ambient temperatures to contend with for the duration and the degree of insulation of the area being heated or cooled. When referring to KW is that max effect or constant and is that peak or KWH - sheesh! Sorry it's been a really bad day...
