Adding generator to Fifth Wheel
We are wanting to add a generator to our fifth wheel and want to know if it has to be put in a basket or something on the outside/back of the fifth wheel or can it be put in the basement while in use....

The single biggest issue reference adding a generator to any RV should be the carbon monoxide issues. I personally would never run a stand alone unit anywhere close to my FW, let alone run one which was sitting on a mounted platform on the rear of my unit. You may get away with doing such things for awhile but it only takes one time for the wind to be just right and the gases to seep under and into the FW without you knowing it.
If your unit is "prepped" for a generator then have one installed correctly and vented. If you want to haul a stand alone make sure it is positioned away from your FW when you run it. I installed another smoke detector/Carbon Monoxide detector in my basement just in case a camping neighbor is careless about running a generator.
