Honda EU2000i case tempature

I am now concerned that it is running too warm.

Curious as to why you would have done this when we know that there are two elements that need to be exhausted - hot exhaust gas and hot engine cooling air - a task that's easily solved by sealing tightly around the EU2000's entire exhaust bezel, whether DIY (as already discussed in your other thread) or with commercially available versions like those from Generator-Line. :h

My Genset is mounted to my camper, I will not have the option of moving it 30 feet away, so I want to have the option of adding a venturi style exhaust. Which I know from past experience will cut down sound and fumes.
I must be missing something - what does the design of the exhaust system have to do with whether the genset is mounted or sitting on the ground? Honda designed the EU2000i case to effectively vent out the two exhaust gases together while preventing those gases from mixing with cooling intake air so why would you want to circumvent this feature and vent out exhaust gas separately from hot cooling air, as Honda intended? Use an exhaust bezel like that offered by Generator-Line (or design your own) and you can direct these two exhaust gases out any way you want while also preventing those gases from mixing with cooling intake air. As it is now it would seem hot exhaust gas is mixing with cooling intake air, resulting in increased operating temperatures.
