How do You mount/cover your Portable Generator?

I like the suggestion of put it under a table. Or anything else you already have available. Especially if one rarely uses the generator, why have something extra to carry around such as beach umbrella or similar. If one has a fifth wheel is there a problem with putting under the pin area other than the noise?

Ours is a Champion 3400 watt inverter and the sound is barrable. I opted for a pull start model rather than an electric start to reduce weight. I can lift it into the back seat of a car if necessary. So I've not bothered to come up with a way to secure it when not in use. I just stow it away. Granted, we just bought it and I'm always looking for ideas.

Good topic,

When not in use I cover with those large plastic totes.

If the weather is very bad, heavy rain mostly, the generator(s) go under the rear of the truck.

It's a portable generator, so I don't "mount" it at all. I carry it in a compartment. I pull it out and set it on the ground near the shore cable. A cable and padlock prevents it from leaving home. If rain threatens, I might slide it under the trailer slide, but don't run it under there. If we must run it while raining, I just drape a cover loosely over it to shed the rain. Tarp or piece of carpet.

Mounting a generator takes serious bracing and exposes it to weather and theft.

As for covering in bad weather, I have one of those small white plastic tables from Costco that folds in half. If it rains, I set it up over the top of the Honda. Sometime I just put it under the truck tail gate.
