Hi,
I did put my genny on the front of my class C. The results were:
1. better steering
2. engine ran 30 f hotter
3. cost of 20% more for fuel i.e. 8 mpg instead of 10 mpg.
I moved it to the rear and the steering was a little less improved--but mileage and engine heat returned to normal.

I already have a Honda 2000i and a Yamaha 3000iSEB with remote start. I really don't want to carry either of them in the bed of my truck so I think I have found the way to carry the Yamaha without being in the bed or hanging off the back of the 5er. Torklift Lock and Load rack. This will allow me to carry the Yamaha on the front of the truck with a front hitch to install the Lock and Load on it. I have plenty of capacity on my front axle to carry it and I have used front racks on my other trucks with a truck camper and never had a heating problem.
It also makes it easier to take off the truck when I'm not using it and it is built to handle generators and locking them on.
Here is what I'm talking about:
Torklift Lock & Load
The worst part of this is that a few years back Torklift ran a contest on NATCOA and I won one of these but at that time I had just switched to a MH so contacted them and told them that I no longer had a need for one and to please pass it along to someone else. Now years later I'm looking at buying one. Crying shame that I didn't just take it and stow it away.
