Where to put portable generator?
« on: June 13, 2016, 10:22:51 PM »
Hello, just wondering where people store their genset. I want to take a 2kva Honda generator with me but all my boxes are sealed. Ideally I would have loved to put it in the front box where the fridge goes but thought it might not be a good idea to store generator with fuel in it next to a fridge in a sealed box.
Thoughts?

We have a shelf system in the back of the Troll.... ours sits in a box on the shelf - never been a problem there and is strapped down so can't move.  No way I can lift it up on to the roof rack anymore so this was the option.

Someone told me in my A*%E, but that is another story.  And it is meant to be quiet.

Some people get Cranky just from the vibrations in the ground. 

No one else can hear it, but they can.
