I'd say with how far you have come, scrap that kit. If I recall its 1200 or something. Those kits are such a rip off. you started your cab mounts. just tac weld them 110v is fine. Then drill 2 holes criss crossed from each other. That would be plenty to hold them. Heck even run a bead down both sides. Or... yeah get some 220v out to garage. Cost me 300 bucks for them to run a line well over 50ft overhead. I got an eastwood welder (onsale now) because funds were slim at time. The welder is fine as long as it doesn't blow its gas solenoid. I then purchased a used hobart 175 for $350 bucks and its been the best investment. Leasing a 4ft tank is another 150 bucks or so.

when I did my 51' (almost 6 years ago) I had now welding skills, learned everything on my own. built the engine etc. it still goes even though I want to redo alot on it. But I had a 90amp craftsman I ran fluxcore through. it got all I needed done, I bolted my cab mounts on with that one. I get that time is an issue for alot of us and esp with you being away alot. but... its your call. Invest in your electric and equipment and or, give someone else the money that may or may not make your build go faster.
