The wheel kit was made by Honda for this particular generator.  You can see the wheels in the pictures.  The wheel kit and storage cover are worth around $140 ($95 + $45).  The DC charging cables are made for this unit.  I don't know what they cost. Yes, I have the Owner's Manual  On Sep-04-08 at 11:18:30 PDT, seller added the following information:In response to questions:   There have been so many e-mails, many with questions (and my answers) that many potential bidders might be interested in, that rather than post each one I am consolidating them in an updated description.    No, I have not installed the high-altitude kit on this generator.  When I bought the generator the dealer advised me that what I would gain above 10,000 feet with the high-altitude kit would be offset by what I lost below 10,000 feet.  He stated that unless I was always going to use it well above 10,000 feet I was better off not installing it.  Well because I purchased it to use with an RV, and how often was I going to have my RV at 11,000 or 12,000 feet, I decided not to install the high-altitude kit.  I knew that my typical RV trip, even in Colorado, was camping between 8,000 and 10,000 feet.  When I traveled outside Colorado I was much lower than that.  I ended up using the generator only a few times because I sold the RV.  As already stated, that is why I am selling the generator.  I did use it once at Half Moon Campground west of Leadville, Colorado.  We were camped about 10,200 feet.  I noticed no decrease in performance compared to using it Jellystone Park in Estes Park, Colorado (around 7,000 to 8,000 feet I think).   Hours?  There is not a meter to measure hours on the generator.  My best estimate is that I used it on three trips, three days per trip, three hours per day.  That adds up to 3 X 3 X 3 = 27 hours.  Other than that, I ran it periodically in my garage to keep the rings, seals, whatever, from drying out.  The one time I did not start it for a year I followed the Owner’s Manual instructions for storage.   I put a new batter in the generator the day I listed it on e-bay.  After the one year of storage it started very quickly with the pull start but the battery was dead and would not take a charge.  So in addition to the already mentioned options (wheel kit $95, cover $45 and DC charging cables $15) this generator has a new battery.  None of the other ones on e-bay at this time, not even the new ones, have all of these options.    Buy it now?  I want to keep this as an acution.  Besides, since the first bid was placed, e-bay will not let me add a "Buy It Now".   Shipping:  There have been many questions about getting the generator to someone and I shouldn’t have put “local pick up only (no shipping)” in my listing.  People want to know why I won’t ship it.  I listed it that way because I am new at this and didn’t know anything about shipping a large, heavy item.  The new ones listing shipping for $140 or $150 are already in a box.  There are numerous possibilities to get this generator to the winning bidder.  Someone has ask me to meet them in Cheyenne, WY.  That works because I have family west of Cheyenne in Rawlins.  Someone ask to hold it until they could pick it up in late September when they come through Colorado Springs; that isn’t a problem ether.  Someone ask about my holding it until their friend (who drove a truck) passed through town and could pick it up; that is fine.  Someone ask about just taking it to a UPS store (if they were to bid and win) and telling them, “hi, I’m Albert, I’m dropping this off for John Doe who will be calling with shipping information and paying by credit card over the phone”.  That is another viable option.  With that in mind, anyone in the US could arrange shipping by simply telling me to drop it off at the following UPS store.  They would then call the UPS store and arrange shipping.  (Note, e-bay will not let me go into my listing and modify the shipping information.)   The UPS Store 3578 HARTSEL DR, UNIT ECOLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80920 - USAPack & Ship Promise Location*Phone: (719)260-6666   What does packing and shipping cost?   The Postal Annex that I usually use for my shipping said they would pack it and ship it to 35226 (Birmingham, Alabama) for $250.  I just used that zip code as an example because I knew it was about 1,500 miles away.    The UPS store (listed above) gives a better deal.  They said packing would be about $50 and shipping would run, on average, $150, depending of course on the exact zip code.    I hope this addresses and answers many of the questions so many of the 500 lookers and 31 watchers have ask me, as well as those of you who have had the same question(s) but not e-mailed me to ask.   Thank you for your interest and happy bidding,   Albert Place a Bid!
